A CHIMNEY caught fire and spread to the whole roof at a house in Charlton Mackrell this morning.
Fire engines from Somerton, Street and Yeovil attended at 5.34am and one fire officer with a Land Rover took all available fire crew from Somerton to the incident.
Crews tackled the fire from the roof and the hearth, using two roof ladders and removing tiles to access the roof space, two sets of breathing apparatus were used along with two hose reels and two thermal imaging cameras.
The fire involved a woodburning stove at the property.
