On Monday, Chief Brian Goss of the Brentwood Fire & Rescue issued an update on Friday’s fire that partially destroyed a home at 17 Oxmoor Ct. in Governors Club.

Goss reports that a total of 35-40 Brentwood Fire Personnel responded to the scene.  The fire was deemed under control at approximately 3 a.m. Saturday, although resources remained on the scene for the next 24-hours.

Brentwood Fire & Rescue personnel removed three pets, four cars, and several boxes of photos and belongings.  The fire was held to the roof, attic and part of the second floor with water damage to the basement and first floor.

The Fire Investigator remained on the scene Monday to determine the specific nature and cause of the fire, believed to have started in or around a fireplace chimney.  No loss has been calculated.

Crews responded to a second chimney fire just twelve hours later in the Cool Springs area.  As we enter into the winter season, all citizens are reminded to have their fireplace chimneys inspected annually.
