Structure Fire & Chimney Fire
TYPE: Reported Structure Fire
DATE / TIME: February 25 @ 20:00
LOCATION: Delphos Drive
DESCRIPTION: A neighbor to a new hosue under construction saw flames coming from a vent pipe and called 911. Chief 360, Safety 369 and a Brookside Lieutenant arrived at the same time to find nothing showing from side-A. After talking to the caller an exterior search was conducted and flames were found coming from the pipe with a glow in a back room. Engine 32 arrived and was tasked with forcing entry and advancing a 1-3/4 line into the house. After entering and making a full search, the fire was found to be saw dust that was placed in a pellet burner coming out of the vent. The glow was the actual pellet burner giving off light. After determining there was no extension from the pipe, all copanies were released.
