First House Fire

Received a page around 9:30pm for a chimney fire. By the time I made the station the call had escalated to “fire is spreading”. I made the station and was 5th on the tower. We don’t see many fires in our city so everyone was a bit stoked to see some action. Pulling up we could see the flames and smoke over the trees. By the time we reached the scene we set up the Tower our crew took an interior attack although the fire never breached the attic space.
The exterior crew was able to suppress the fire from reaching the inside. We spent the next few hours tearing the exterior chimney apart which showed a lot of smoldering siding.
All in all a good showing. Fire was suppressed early enough to prevent significant spreading. Got some exposure in the process of managing a scene, did a ladder work with a chain saw and saw a little hose time (very little).
