::: Incident: Garage Fire :::

May 24, 2009 - Warwick firefighters made quick work of an intense garage fire on Pond Hill Avenue, preventing it from destroying the attached house. While exterior crews fought to control the fire that consumed the garage, other firefighters attacked the fire from the interior of the home successfully pushing it back before it could gain a foothold in the attic.

Mutual Aid was received from the Chester Fire Department’s F.A.S.Team, which responded to the scene, and the Florida and Greenwood Lake Fire Departments which were on stand by in Warwick’s stations.

The Warwick Fire Department Fire Prevention Team would like to remind all homeowners using fireplaces or woodstoves that chimney fires are extremely dangerous as they can easily spread to the structure of building. Chimneys should be inspected and cleaned by a certified chimney sweep on a regular basis.
