'Petrified' children heard loud bang as chimney fell down in storm

Children were "petrified" after hearing a loud bang as tonight's storm damaged their home.

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) were called to a property in Wallasey Village this afternoon following reports of a chimney stack falling on a roof. Merseyside Police closed Wallasey Village in both directions for the public's safety.

Eyewitnesses reported the chimney stack fell which caused a number of bricks to fall into the middle of Wallasey Village, including onto the roof of a car. One woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said she heard a "loud bang" and "vibrations" in her home as the chimney stack fell.
