House fire started in chimney

Family able to stay in home

A family on Crestview Drive was able to sleep in their home Wednesday night after a quick response by Durango Fire Protection District firefighters.

The DFPD got the call about 10:30 p.m. and reported the fire under control at 10:58 p.m.

“We cleared the scene at 1:11 a.m.,” DFPD Battalion Chief Michael Krupa said. “Inspector Dave Stroebel completed his investigation and confirmed that the cause was a chimney fire.”

While the house is livable, there was some damage.

“They definitely have some work and clean up to do,” Krupka said.
