Crew called to house fire in Carn Brea
Firefighters were called to Carn Brea this afternoon after work on a flat roof at a cottage sparked a fire.
One appliance from Camborne were sent to the two storey end of terrace cottage just after 2pm.
A fire and rescue service spokesman said: "Workmen had been carrying out work on a flat roof to the cottage and heat damage had occurred to a timber wall.
"Firefighters wearing two breathing apparatus used one hose reel to extinguish the fire. A thermal image camera was also used to ensure the fire had not spread."
