At 7.39pm on Sunday (2) a crew from Linton was called to a chimney fire on Balsham Road in Fulbourn. 

Firefighters used a hose reel and chimney rods to extinguish the fire. 

The crew was at the scene until around 9.20pm. 

The cause of the fire was accidental. 

A fire service spokesperson said: “Please ensure that you get your chimney swept and brick work inspected regularly, at least once a year. The debris buildup in the flue can be set alight when heating the home, which could cause a significant fire. Regular chimney maintenance will help prevent this from happening.”
