Just before 8 this evening The Woodlands Fire Department was dispatched to a reported chimney fire on N. Wilde Yaupon in the village of Panther Creek. Engine 108 arrived first and reported a small fire from the top of the chimney. Firefighters extinguished the fire in the fireplace while a second crew accessed the roof and extinguished the fire in the chimney cap. Minimal fire damage was confined to the chimney. The Woodlands Fire Department was assisted by the Montgomery County Hospital District and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. If you are using your fireplace make sure the flue is open. Do not burn pine and make sure the chimney has been cleaned.
