We are reminding people to clean their chimney regularly after crews tackled a chimney fire in south Staffordshire.

Crews were called at 7.45pm on Sunday 30 November to a house off Straight Mile following reports of a fire.

One appliance attended the scene and found a chimney well alight.

Thankfully, nobody was reported injured.

Crew Manager Mathew Lewis said: “As the weather gets colder, residents might be considering lighting the fire.

“We strongly recommend that chimneys are cleaned regularly to help prevent fires.

“Burning materials such as wood should also be kept away from the fire and always keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children.”

🏠 Did you know, a blocked or defective chimney can cause carbon monoxide poisoning from gas or solid wood fires?

For safety, we strongly recommend that chimneys are cleaned regularly and in line with the below guidelines:

Wood - Quarterly when in use
Smokeless fuels - at least once a year
Bitumous Coal - at least twice a year
Oil - at least twice a year
Gas - at least twice a year
Biomass - at least once a year

The best times to have your chimney swept are just before the start of the heating season and after any prolonged period of shut-down.
