At 1756hrs Thursday night, Christiana Fire was alerted for a reported Building – Chimney Fire at 134 Jackson Road in Sadsbury Township. The caller reported a chimney fire believed to be contained to the flu. Engine 52-1 (Capt. Lofgren) marked enroute with a crew of 6 personnel followed by Tanker 52-2, Tanker 52-1 and Squad 52. Duty Officer (Asst Buckwalter) and Ops Officer (Capt Wallace) arrived soon after and reported normal conditions from the exterior. A quick interior survey found the owner had extinguished the fire before 52 units arrived.
While enroute to the Chimney fire, Tanker 52-2 (Moore) came across a working fire on the exterior of a camper located at 545 Noble Road. Command 52 (Jackson Road) quickly diverted Tanker 2 and Truck 42 to this assignment. Tanker 1 and the Squad also reported to the Noble Road run since crews were wrapping up the Chimney fire. Deputy 52 (Fisher) arrived to assume the Noble Road command with crews deploying two 1 ¾ handlines from Tanker 2 to extinguish the blaze. The RV was a total loss.
