They all just screamed by me...I hope everyone is safe.

(I checked here immediately...thanks Henry)

I understand that there was a lot of smoke, but no fire.  Cambridge & Westford Fire have returned as well as Fairfax Rescue.  Also just saw a Fairfax Fire Truck go down by.  I did not try going up as it is cold and windy and as you know Fletcher Road is not a wide road....  I did hear from someone on the scene, but expect that Chief will be on later so I don't screw the story up.

All Fairfax Units are now back in service.

Henry I don't thinks its too often when you would go outside your comfort zone to report or "screw the story up".  WCAX might be looking for some local reporters =-)

All turned out well at this incident.  Moderate smoke through all levels of the home on arrival.  Interior crews were able to quickly identify some abnormally heated walls adjacent to the chimney area which forced us to "open" two areas to look for any fire extension into the structure.  Smoke was coming from floor registers possibly caused by a cracked heating distributer or plenum allowing the smoke to exit the fire chamber into the heat ducts. 

Mutual aid from Cambridge and Westford was requested but were able to release them from the scene quickly.
