Monday May 18, 2009, at 2055 hours, Chief 6A (Montgomery), Chief 6B (Thrasher), Engine 61 (Rountree) and Squad 6 (Capt Collins), with 13 volunteers were alerted for the chimney fire at 3125 Karen Drive, in the Lake Karylbrook section. First arriving units from the North Beach VFD arrived with heavy fire showing from a two-story log cabin. Crews immediately went to work on the stubborn fire quickly knocking it down. The crew from Engine 61 pulled an additional line and was assigned to the exterior of Side "B" where the majority of the fire was found. Squad 6 completed the primary and secondary searches and opened up for the Engine companies. Due to extensive overhaul, the Huntingtown Volunteers remained on the scene until 0041 hours.
