Obstructed Chimney Causes Basement To Fill With Smoke

November 22, 2014

(Milford)– Damage was very minimal and no injuries were reported in a chimney fire Thursday evening near Milford.

Fire Chief Brian Craig says Milford firefighters were called to 2183 230th Street just southwest of Milford shortly after 7:00 p.m.

Upon arriving, Craig says firefighters found the basement of the home full of smoke. He says it was caused by an obstruction in a chimney for a woodburning furnace.

Firefighters ventilated the house.

They were there about an hour.
