On Monday, November 14, at 9:30pm the City of Fillmore Fire Department responded to a report of a structure fire
at 1100 Block of Shady Lane in the City of Fillmore. Upon arriving on scene firefighters observed smoke and fire coming from the chimney portion of the residence. Fire Personnel were able to launch an aggressive attack on the fire. Firefighters extinguished the fire in the fireplace and chimney. Fillmore Firefighters checked the attic and surrounding walls for any signs of heat or fire that may have extended. Fillmore Firefighters did a tremendous job keeping the fire from spreading to adjacent rooms and there was no other damage to the rest of the structure. A special thanks to the Tim Burhoe and David Landeros for their quick reactions. They were driving by the residence and noticed a large amount of fire coming from the residence fireplace. They immediately stopped and notified the residence that they had a problem which lead to the quick response from the fire department. Courtesy Fillmore Fire Department.
