Owners of wood burners are being urged to take extra care following two house fires in as many weeks.
Crews from Horsham were called to a semi-detached property in West Grinstead Sunday afternoon. Logs for the wood burner had been stored too close to the appliance and they caught alight.
The fire was contained to the kitchen and one man suffered smoke inhalation.
Earlier this month, however, a bungalow in Copthorne was left severely damaged following a wood burner incident. It took three fire crews to bring the blaze under control.
