Firefighters had to double up as chimney sweeps on Tuesday night when they were called to a chimney fire in Pétange.
Emergency services were notified of the blaze in Rue de la Chiers at around 7.20pm where smoke was filling a property.
On closer inspection it appeared that the fire was contained within the chimney. Using a ladder and breathing apparatus, firefighters then worked to extinguish all burning embers and remove burning material from within the chimney breast. The house was then ventilated to remove the majority of the smoke.
