Firefighters were called to a chimney fire in a North Yorkshire town.
A crew was on the scene in Langton Road, Norton, at 6.54pm yesterday (Saturday, February 10).
They extinguished the fire - confined to the chimney pot - using a hose reel.
“This was accessed using a nine-metre ladder and working at height equipment,” a North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said.
“The second pot was checked for hotspots using a thermal imaging camera.
“Crews also used a hearth kit and chimney rods.
“The fire was believed to be caused by an accumulation of soot and a safe and well was carried out by crews.”
