Charlotte Ave Chimney Fire

On 2/9/22 at 11:40 PM, Blue Shift companies were dispatched to a residential house fire in the 900 block of Charlotte Avenue. Quint 21, Quint 8, Squad 13, Ladder 13, Ladder 7, Battalion 1, Battalion 2, HCEMS, CPD, EPB, and Fire Supply responded. Firefighters spotted heavy smoke coming from the attic on arrival. Once inside, they were met with smoke and heat in the attic and found that the chimney was the source. Crews went outside, pulled the siding away from the chimney and extinguished the fire. They had a good stop on it, getting things under control in 15 minutes. There were no injuries. All residents and pets were out of the house. Four adults were displaced and took shelter with a family member.
