fire-fighters burst into her apartment.
The 'Cold Mountain' actress was feeling the chill yesterday and
decided to use the fireplace in her luxurious New York apartment - but
alarmed neighbours smelled smoke coming from her floor and phoned the
emergency services.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "A truckload of fire-fighters
arrived at Renée's apartment. They came and put out the contained fire in
her fireplace. It seemed very unnecessary, but maybe because it is so early
in the season, the neighbor was concerned."
Renée was said to be startled by the sudden arrival of the fire-fighters,
but laughed and joked with the men while they checked her apartment.
Earlier this month, it was revealed the 38-year-old actress was taking Sir
Paul McCartney on a romantic weekend away.
Renée booked an exclusive secluded cottage in America's East Hamptons resort
so and the 65-year-old Beatles legend could get to know each other better.
A source said: It's early days but Renée really thinks they could have
something.
"The cottage has a piano and guitars, so she might be serenaded with an
impromptu performance."
Renée and Paul first met at a Tom Petty concert in New York last month where
they were seen cozying up to one another.
