Around 1 AM, November 8th, Station 2 was dispatched for a structure alarm (chimney fire) in the 3500 block of Carrollton Road. Paramedic 29, on their way back from the hospital, arrived first and had fire through the wall on the center Bravo Side at the peak of the roof. P28 had Carroll Emergency Communications upgrade the dispatch to a full Fire Box. Engine 23 arrived and stretched a 1-3/4 inch cross lay to the attic where the fire was quickly knocked. Extensive overhaul ensued because of the balloon-frame construction and the burning embers that had fallen into the void space in the wall. All units cleared approximately 3:30 AM.
