Firefighters were called to another chimney fire in the Shepway area last night.
Crews from Folkestone have been called to a number of incidents in recent weeks and the latest was at 9pm in Lyminge yesterday.
One of the station's watch managers has issued a warning to residents with chimneys to ensure that fires do not break out in their chimneys.
They were called after a log burner was turned on and caused the chimney stack to catch light.
They were on the scene for around an hour dousing the flames.
Watch manager Giles Parker said: "We used a thermal imaging camera to make sure it was all out.
"It was a pretty standard job but they do happen quite often and it's about making people aware and keep them swept regularly."
