So... Last night an old lady started her first fire of the season. A combination of a dead bird and buncha shit in her chimney led to her filling her little house with smoke. 1st engine on scene sees the amount of smoke and freaks. Calmer heads show up and ask the old gal whats going on. (1st crew neglected to do this) She tells them she lit a fire and so on. Turns out nothing more than some light smoke damage and a clogged chimney. (along with slightly toasted and mummified bird) Lesson of the day, sweep your chimneys people. Check them out at least once a year. Best time is late summer/ early fall right before burning season starts.
Second lesson, not eating all day and having a whiskey dinner was not a great idea. Sounded good at the time, but not too happy with it right now.
