– The residents of a single-family home on Roggersdorfer Strasse in Holzkirchen got away with the shock again on Friday night: around 1:30 a.m., heavy smoke had developed in the chimney of the residential building, presumably caused by soot residue.

The fire brigade had to move out so that the residues in the chimney could burn down in a controlled manner, the police reports.

15 men were deployed for about two hours, says commander Ludwig Würmseer.

The chimney was professionally swept and cleared out by the chimney sweep in the presence of the fire department, and the residue was safely removed so that nothing could flare up.

No one was injured in the chimney fire, and according to the police report, there was no property damage.
