A busy road in Douglas had to be closed this afternoon, while the Fire and Rescue Service made safe a large chimney stack which had become unstable.
Crews arrived in Church Road Marina at about 1.50pm and discovered there was a possibility of masonry falling from the roof area.
The road and surrounding area were cordoned off by police, as a precaution, while the stack was secured.
Fire crews used an aerial ladder platform to remove loose material.
