As Central Village was assisting Moosup with overhaul operations at their basement fire, communications advised command of the chimney fire 21 Green Hollow Rd. Central Village. Crews quickly reassembled and headed in that direction. Upon the arrival of Et-197, a heavy amount of smoke was issuing from all the windows and the front door of the building. Car 197(LaPierre) established the "Green Hollow"Command and called for Ladder 194, as a crew of 2 stretched the front pre-connect into the building. Heavy fire was visible upon entering the living room but was quickly knocked down. As the smoke lifted it was noticed that the homeowner had stacked about half a cord of wood in close proximity to the wood stove. There was minor extension into the walls but that was quickly extinguished.
