Showell Volunteer Fire Department

At approximately 1855 hours, Showell was alerted to respond to a reported Chimney Fire at 11311-50 Marina Drive with reports of fire and smoke in a confined area (woodstove). As Engine 803 responded, a request for Ocean Pines to respond with a Tower was made. Engine 803 arrived on scene with Tanker 8, Engine 804, Tower 11, and Rescue 8 en-route. Firefighters entered the structure and found nothing upon initial search. When access to the attic was made, a light haze was found in the attic space which was caused from the excess smoke in the chimney. Tower 11 extended their ladder to the roof and took command of the roof area of the structure. Firefighters then extinguished the fire present in the wood-stove and deemed the scene safe for units to clear. Units on scene: Engine 803, Tanker 8, Rescue 8, Engine 804, and Tower 11.
