Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #49

Engine 22, Engine 23, Squad 23, and Ambulance 22 were dispatched to a chimney fire at 248 North Second Street, a double house on the southwest corner of Edward and North Second Streets. It was a very cold day as the crews arrived and laddered the building. It was found that the chimney had partially blocked, causing a small amount of smoke and dirt to enter the basement. A crew in the basement removed the pipe from the coal furnace, and the chimney was cleaned by running chains from the roof. After re-assembling the pipe, all units went available.
