FIREFIGHTERS from Whitchurch and Malpas have tackled a fire at an outbuilding in Cholmondeley.

The crews were alerted to the blaze at around 7.30am on Monday, April 6, at an outbuilding of a property in Sawmill Road.

On arrival crews found that the fire involved a boiler and isolated all services to the boiler and used one hose reel jet to extinguish the flames.

Crews then checked the adjacent properties and roof space for any signs of heat and fire.

The flue liner of the boiler was removed as a precaution and crews used a thermal imaging camera to check that the boiler was at a stable temperature.

Crews were in attendance for around one hour.
