Title: Fairfax Fire & Rescue Toned Out For Fire In Fletcher
Post by: Henry on March 06, 2012, 07:55:15 AM

Around 2 a.m. this morning the Fairfax Fire & Rescue were toned out for a chimney fire up on Deer Run Ln in Fletcher - They were there for a couple hours or so - Not sure how much damage was done.  I think according to the Fletcher Map that Deer Run Ln is off School Road someplace.

Fairfax Fire and Rescue were indeed called to a chimney fire with possible extension into the attic space.  We arrived on scene to find light smoke pushing from the eves and visible fire in the attic space from the first floor.  Interior crews were able to quickly and aggressively open the ceiling exposing the fire and obtain a successful knock down within minutes limiting the fire and water damage.  Most of the time on scene was spent overhauling the areas adjacent to the fire to ensure there was no further extension into the structure.  We were also assisted on scene by Cambridge Fire Department and a thank you to them for coming to assist us in the balmy -6 deg. weather.
