A call came in for the Atwood Hose:comipany for aid. The chemical auto’ truck was.sent . to the farmer's assistance in a few minutes af- ter. the call .came in. Upon arrival the driver was told that the fire had been put out but upon examination by members of the fire company it was found that the fire was stfll blazing at the base of .the chimney.. A small hand - chemical tank was discharged and the investigation still revealed fire “higher in the chimney. It was thought well to discharge one of the truck 40-gallon’ tanks info the chimney. fro mthe top, which was accomplished in short order. The chimney was then cleaned to make sure that the blaze had been thoroughly extinguished. This' is the first bad chimney fire subdued by the chemical truck since it was pur- chased and it'proved a great convenience in getting to the fire, putting out the blaze and getting back to the hose rooms so rapidly.
