CHIMACUM — Firefighters from multiple agencies extinguished a chimney fire at a residence on Center Road in Chimacum.
A woman told firefighters she saw the fire burning when she arrived home Monday night, and she rescued her dogs when she opened the front door.
No other residents were in the house at the time, according to a press release from East Jefferson Fire-Rescue (EJFR).
