A CHIMNEY caught fire on Saturday after a homeowner burnt wooden blocks on an open fire place in Lyons Lane, Appleton.
Stockton Heath firefighters were called to the home at 9.45am and found the fire was so hot that it took three hours to put out.
A spokesman said: "If people burn wood they should call a sweep who will use proper equipment to clean the chimney."
