Build up of soot causes house fire in Potterhanworth

Firefighters were called to a chimney fire in a property at Potterhanworth yesterday evening (Wednesday).

A crew from Metheringham was called out to the fire in Moor Lane at 7.15pm.

Crew members used chimney gear and a thermal imaging camera to extinguish the burning embers.

Fire investigators say the damage was done from a build up of soot and clinker building up in the chimney.
