After the busy
weekend with auto extrications, everyone was looking
forward to a relaxing Sunday night. At 8:54pm, Box
19-24 was dispatched for a dwelling fire on Walnut
Lane. The first arriving units reported a medium
smoke condition inside the residence. The culprit
was a fire in the fireplace that went out of
control. The fire was knocked by water fire
extinguishers. Fire spread to the wall and also to
the basement. A good amount of effort was put into
overhaul to ensure that the fire had not climbed
into any other parts of the dwelling. (Pictures by
