A bizarrely built chimney put a local home at risk last Friday but the damage was ultimately minimal thanks to quick action by the Glendive Fire Department. The GFD was paged out at 11:24 a.m. last Friday to a report of a fire at 112 West Brennan Street, just around the corner from the Holiday convenience store on Merrill Avenue. The department responded with two fire engines and 11 firefighters. GFD Chief George Lane said that upon arrival firefighters discovered the chimney of the home smoldering. Oddly, the source of the fire proved to be a layer of wood lining the chimney shaft. Lane said there was a wood stove attached to the chimney, noting that the stovepipe was insulated going nearly all the way up.
