Chimney Fire

Friday, January 29, 2016

Hartly's Volunteers along with Cheswold (Station 43) were alerted for a Chimney Fire. Upon arrival, crews found fire conditions in the chimney with high heat levels in the attic at the site of the chimney. Crews used DryChem Bags to supress the fire while attempting to dislodge the blockage in the chimney. Eventually crews had to break open the chimney only to find that the clay lining had collapsed in on itselt which caused the creosode to build eventually creating the fire conditions. Once heat levels dropped in the attic and walls, crews returned.
