Middle Day for A-Shift

Out here in the East was a pretty busy day. The medic unit totaled out at 11 w/ two after midnight & the hose jockies only ran two; one of which you will see pics of below. At 1956 both units along w/ E11, E1, L1, BC1, & RS1 were dispatched to a residence on Church AV in Southeast for a chimney fire that was extending into the roof. E6 arrived to find a 1 1/2 story residential structure w/ some fire visible from the chimney. The normal chimney bombs weren't enough however to extinguish the fire due to the high buildup of residue in the chimney. L1 then took the electric fan to the basement where it was placed in front of the clean out. A dry-chem extinguisher was then discharged into the chimney & the fan was utilized to blow the agent up through the length of the chimney to extinguish the fire. A water can was used from the roof by M6 personnel to extinguish some hot spots near the top. After a small clean up all crews returned to service.
