Around noon the Progress & Edgemont Volunteers were dispatched for a chimney fire on Andrea Ave. The Wagon (Capt. Wolford) and Chief 32-2 (Parsons) responded on dispatch and were advised by communications the homeowner was reporting fire from his chimney. Chief 2 arrived with nothing showing and the Wagon arrived with its own hydrant and ran a crosslay. Capt. 32 assumed division one and reported fire in the chimney. The Tower Ladder (Capt. Lawrence) arrived and interior crew checked all divisions for extension, laddered the residence, and went to the roof. Crews removed the fire from and firebox and chained the chimney. After the lines and Ladders were picked up the Company went ready in about an hour.
