Fire crews from Bamber Bridge and Chorley, along with the Aerial Ladder Platform from Preston, were called to a home in Bent Lane at 5.42am. A spokesman from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service said: "The caller believed the fire may involve the log burner due to a smell from the chimney and walls being hot. "When firefighters arrived they investigated the heat source and gained access to the chimney. "They extinguished the fire using a nimbus nozzle and were in attendance approximately two hours and fifteen minutes." No casualties were reported.
