Stations 6, 2, 12
and 22 responded to a house fire at 322 Gobbler Circle in the Turkey
Hill Community on Thanksgiving Day at 1049. Neighbors reported seeing
smoke coming from the residence at this location. Engine 6 and Medic 6
arrived in 5 minutes advising smoke visible from the roof and a window
on the "B" side of the single story structure. Firefighters
made entry with one 1-3/4" hand line and quickly knocked the fire
in the living room down. Crews overhauled the wall and ceiling around
the chimney. The fire originated in the wall on both sides of the
chimney and extended into the attic. Crews pulled the interior and
exterior walls around the chimney to insure there was no further
extension.

scene for 1-1/2 hours. One woman was treated at the scene by
Firefighter-Paramedics for respiratory difficulty. She did not wish to
be transported to the hospital.
