Dec 31 2009 by simon halewood, Chester Chronicle
CHESHIRE firefighters have issued a winter warning to homeowners with traditional log fires.
With New Year celebrations coming up and the recent cold snap, more people are expected to enjoy the warmth of a log fire. So far Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service has attended 146 incidents involving chimneys this year. The service is now warning residents to take extra care when lighting up.
A spokesman said: “Ensure your chimney is swept regularly, depending upon what fuel you burn and I would urge all householders to have a working smoke alarm in their home.”
