On Saturday January 02, 2010 at approx. 15:45 hours the Baltic FD was sent to 1 Pautipaug Hill Road for a chimney fire. Upon arrival of Baltic units (ET-124, Ladder 124, Tanker 124, and ET-224) there was an active fire found in a three flue chimney (two wood stoves and one oil furnace) which had not been cleaned in the last seven years, according to the home owner. After several attempts to break up the blockage by traditional ways, Baltic members had to breach the chimney to get to the blockage. A hand line was used to keep the fire contained and extinguished. One engine was requested from the Occum Fire Department to Station 24 to stand-by and were later brought into the scene for man power and TIC. Baltic and Occum units cleared the scene at approx. 18:00 hours. Thanks Tim for the pics............
