This evening the fire company was dispatched E. Branch Rd. in College Township for a 3rd party report of a chimney fire. The caller stated there was a large amount of smoke coming from the chimney. State College PD arrived on scene first and knocked the fire down, however, still requested that fire department continue their response.
Upon arrival of Assistant Chief DeArmitt there was only light smoke coming from the chimney area. The response was held to Engine 514 and Truck 517. The truck company laddered the roof to examine the chimney while the engine crew went interior to extinguish the remaining fire in the wood stove. Upon further examination it was determined that the cause was due to a build up of soot and creosote in the chimney area. The homeowner was advised not to relite the stove until it was extensively cleaned.
