Another lucky home owner as they were home when the chimney fire started. The wife stated that she always worried about a chimney fire and would always tell her husband "I think we have a flue fire" but she said it roared so loud that there was no questions this time.
The owner had already got on the roof and sprayed water down the chimney. This can be good or bad as some chimneys will crack when you add water. I do not know the details on this fire but the house was saved and that is the important thing. The only injury was a small cut on the owners hand.
This is a good reminder to keep our tetanus shots currant as he got cut by some rusty metal and it only takes a small cut.
Another good job by Jefferson County Fire District #1 and its volunteers. If you see a firefighter be sure to thank them for the time they put into this volunteer position to help our community.
