At 15:25 hrs, Station 5 was dispatched to the Carrabas Restuarant in the 200 block of Lancaster Avenue for a chimney fire. A caller had reported grey smoke coming from a chimney on the roof of the building.

Ladder 4 was added to the assignment as Station 5 crews arrived and confirmed an active fire inside the chimney.

Deputy 5 (Straus) established command as first arriving Engine 5-3 crews utilized a fire extinguisher to quickly extinguish the fire. Ladder 4 was set up on the front of the building and crews ascended to the roof to check for any fire extension in the roof area around the chimney. The Ladder crew also used the chimney chains to clear debris inside the chimney.

With no extension found on the roof and interior crews reporting the same, the situation was placed under control and the Health Department was notified. Malvern units cleared the scene at approximately 16:30 hours.
