PHOTOS: Firefighters Extinguish Chimney Fire

Firefighters were hard at work over the holidays. On Dec.22, the East Hampton Fire Department was called out for a reported chimney fire at 46 Highway Behind the Pond in the village, just after 7 p.m. Engine company members extinguished the fire, while members of Hook and Ladder Company #1 used their tower ladder and chimney brushes to clear the chimney of any additional accelerants. There were no injuries, and all units were placed back in service in a little over an hour.
