Firefighters found the library filled with smoke and dust from the extinguishers. They made sure the initial fire was completely extinguished and then worked on removing the smoke. Staff members were instructed to leave the alarm system in test until the majority of the room could be cleaned of all the powder residue from the extinguishers.

Chimney fire: At 11:22 a.m., firefighters were dispatched along with Eastside Fire & Rescue to a reported chimney fire in a home. They found all the home’s occupants outside.

Residents told the firefighters that smoke and sparks had been coming out of the flue where it met the ceiling, and they had put the fire out with an extinguisher and some water. The crew went into the house, inspected the fireplace, which still had some logs smoldering, and the attic. They did not find any evidence that the fire had spread. Next, they went onto the roof and checked the chimney flue, which showed a buildup of creosote. They advised the residents to contact the landlord about having the fireplace cleaned and inspected.
