Fire crews attend Ramsey chimney fire

Ramsey Fire crews were called to a chimney fire yesterday evening.

Two engines attended the property and quickly determined that the smoke logged house had a significantly blocked chimney.

Using breathing apparatus the crews extinguished the fire using a high pressure hose reel, with a bailey ladder used to access the roof as the chimney was also capped.

In total they were in attendance for one hour and thirty minutes.

If you have a real fire you're urged to ensure your chimney is well swept and clear as we move into the winter months.
