FIREFIGHTERS took over an hour to tackle a blaze in a chimney at a home in a popular Suffolk resort.

One crew from Southwold attended the town’s Park Lane around 4.35pm today.

When they arrived they found the chimney alight.

The crew used chimney rods to help extinguish the blaze.

They also used one 10m ladder and one roof ladder to fight the fire.

Crews were working at height for around an hour.

The fire was extinguished by 6.15pm.
