York firefighters were called to two incidents last night (Monday).
A crew from Huntington were called to a home in Barton-le-Willows at 7.58pm.
Floorboards had caught fire after a new fireplace had been installed.
A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “On arrival crews located a small fire that had already burnt out. Crews carried out an inspection using a thermal imaging camera.”
Later, at 9.37pm, crews from York and Acomb were called to a chimney fire at a house in New Earswick.
The spokesperson said: “The fire was confined within the chimney and extinguished using a knapsack sprayer, small tools and the aerial ladder platform for access.
“Advice was given to the occupant.”
