FIREFIGHTERS spent two hours tackling a chimney blaze last night.
One crew from Eastleigh was called to a home in Lakewood Close, Chandler's Ford, at 7pm to fight the fire.
The blaze proved particularly difficult for firefighters who were forced to tackle it from the bottom of the chimney with chimney rods and from the top with a ladder and a hose.
Everybody inside the house was able to escape without problem and firefighters were able to contain the fire within the chimney, preventing any damage to the inside of the house.
