1/16/11 - Delhi Twp chimney fire, 617 N. Cedar St

Just after 11 PM on Sunday, January 16, 2010, the Delhi Township Fire Department was dispatched to a chimney fire in their coverage area in Alaiedon Township, at 617 N. Cedar St. On arrival, only light smoke was visible inside the house with heavier smoke issuing from the chimney on the "D" side of a 1 story wood frame ranch. Engine 21's crew entered the structure and went to work opening the walls around the fireplace to contain and extinguish the fire. Mutual aid was requested from the Mason Fire Department for an engine company, and Mason command on scene extended that request to include a tanker. Once the wall was opened up it was discovered there was no fire extension to other parts of the house and the smoldering fire was quickly put out. Firefighters were on the scene approximately 2 hours.
