Firefighters did job with no fuss or muss

Thank you to the hardworking staff at North Kitsap Fire and Rescue.

We recently had a chimney fire and our fast-responding fire and rescue people were there for us. It’s great to have such a great bunch of people available when you need them.

The responding crew was quick to assess the situation and told us the course of action that they would be taking. They kept us informed as to what they were doing while they were at our home. They checked to make sure that we were OK while we were in our yard watching and worrying about our home.

They used several thermal imaging cameras to track the temperature inside our home to make sure that there was no fire in the wall or attic areas. They tracked the temperatures and when there was no danger, they allowed us to re-enter our home. Our home was clean and it was as if nothing had happened.

Kudos to you all and, yes, we will have our chimney cleaned more often now.
