One appliance from Sandringham attended a chimney fire on Stanhoe Road, in Bircham Tofts, near King's Lynn at 6.45pm and left the scene by 8pm after extinguishing the fire and checking for hotspots.

Another crew from Long Stratton was called just before 6pm to a chimney fire, which turned out to a false alarm.
