At about 3 p.m. the Heights Engine and Ambulance 7 were dispatched to the town of Chichester for a refridgerator fire. The address was just across the city line so we had a good shot of being the first on scene. Loudon's fire chief was the first to arrive about a minute ahead of us and first reported "nothing showing" and than updated it to "smoke showing" just prior to our arival. A 14 year old resident of the home was there when the fire broke out, and after removing a couple of pets, phoned 911. The fire was contained to the refridgerator, which made for easy extinguishment with an 1 3/4" line from E-7: however, smoke damage was pretty significant throughout the home.
