01/15/2019 0140 hrs: Company 2 was alerted to a possible structure fire - a flue fire with visible flames in the chimney. Chief 2 asked for additional resources from station 4 (Fincastle) due to the lack of hydrants in the area. Engine 2 and Medic 2 arrived to find heavy gray smoke showing from the chimney, Deputy Chief 2 established command and quickly dispatched an investigation group inside the house to check for extension while a separate crew prepared to ladder the roof. With no extension into the dwelling, crews concentrated on the chimney fire. Flue bombs and a chimney chain were put into operation by the roof crew to knock down the flames and clear any flaming material in the chimney. The interior crew cleaned out the firebox and used a dry chemical extinguisher to knock down any remaining flames. Personnel once again checked for extension throughout the dwelling before the fire was deemed out and units on the scene could handle at 0246. Units operating on this assignment: Engine 2, Wagon 2, Medic 2, Ladder 3, Tanker 3, Wagon 4, Tanker 4, Utility 4, EMS 7, and Engine 7. ... See MoreSee Less
