Freeman Road chimney fire

BRISTOL, FL – A cozy winter fire almost turned into something more serious late this afternoon until firefighters and neighbors responded and kept it from spreading inside a home along Freeman Road in Bristol, just off Pea Ridge Road.   Smoke was billowing out the chimney as firefighters hosed it down and then began looking for smaller fires inside walls and roof.  The blaze was put out in the fireplace but a hole had to be cut overhead to hose down flames in the wall.  Firefighters are still on the scene at this time.
