LOOSE chimney pots on the roof of a house are being taken down by firefighters in strong winds.
Two fire crews from Humberside Fire and Rescue service were called to a property in Lord Street, Grimsby, at around 6.25pm, as loose titles were falling off the roof and onto the pavement.
Jason Kirby, group manager for the service, said: "Normally a builder would turn out to deal with this situation, but with the wind so strong it is too dangerous for someone to go up there.
"That is why we are called instead and, by taking down the loose tiles and chimney pots using a hydraulic platform, we help reduce the risk of any potential accidents occurring."
