Woodburner causes chimney fire near Malvern
A WOODEN beam in a chimney at a house in Castlemorton, near Malvern, caught fire this morning.
Firefighters from Malvern and Upton were called to the fire caused by a woodburner at the house in Drugger’s End Lane at about 9.30am.

No one was hurt and the only damage caused was to the interior of the chimney.
