The Canton Fire Department ran its first chinmey fire of the 2008-2009 heating season with a call at 45 State Street tonight. The homeowner notified the fire station of the possible chimney fire at 1913 hours. Members had just returned from a gas leak at the Masonic Temple building on SH 68 and were enroute to State Street immediately. Arriving at 1915 hours, units found a 1 1/2 story wood frame dwelling with fire coming from the top of the chimney. Tower 1 was utilized, its first fire duty, to clean out the chimney following extinguishment. The fire was contained to the chimney and all units were back in service at 2009 hours.
