FIREFIGHTERS are dealing with a fire in a roof space at a terraced house in Northfields, Knutsford.
Fire engines were called just before 1.30pm today to a chimney on fire, which had spread to the roof space.
The crews used a hose reel jet and a covering jet to fight the fire.
Two firefighters went into the property and inspected the loft through the hatch using a thermal imaging camera.
The gas and electrics were isolated at the property and a cordon was set up around the house for safety.
A fire was also located on the ground floor of the property in a chimney breast.
Firefighters are using a chimney hose and a chimney box to extinguish the fire in the chimney breast.
