Writer: ltjay157

Originally came in by the homeowner as a chimney fire. Originally 1 company response (Redding Ridge). Received a second call from the homeowner stating the house was now on fire. West Redding & Georgetown districts were dispatched as automatic mutual aid for structure fires. Extension from the chimney to the attic & second floor. Redding Ridge was enroute 1 min after dispatch due to being out on another call. Mutual aid was toned out shortly after the original dispatch. I can't post the times yet due to the ongoing investigation.
