Firefighters were called out to an incident at a property near Oswestry where a chimney was on fire.
A fire engine attended the scene in Gwern y Brenin, south of Oswestry, shortly after 8.20pm on Saturday (March 2).
Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said firefighters used a stirrup pump and chimney rods to extinguish the fire.
The Oswestry-based crew also carried out a thorough search at the property using a thermal imaging camera before leaving shortly after 9.10pm.
Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service urges people to make sure they keep their family and home safe by having the chimney swept regularly and at least once a year.
Chimneys that are clogged by soot and smoke can cause a build-up of deadly carbon monoxide so remember to fit a carbon monoxide detector and never block air bricks, vents or flues.
Make sure to have working smoke alarms in the home and test them every week.
