Firefighters extinguish Palmer Road chimney fire

Firefighters used pressurized water cans and ladders to extinguish a chimney fire on Palmer Road on Sunday afternoon.

Firefighters also used a pole to remove creosote in the chimney during the 2:30 p.m. fire, an Oak Ridge Fire Department report said.

Firefighters put out a fire in the fireplace and carried the contents outside, where they extinguished them, the report said.

The report did not list any damage to the home or its contents, but it said firefighters advised the homeowner on how to properly maintain a chimney.
