PORT TOWNSEND — Fire broke out in the chimney of The Tin Brick restaurant in Port Townsend on Tuesday morning.
No injuries were reported, said Bill Beezley, East Jefferson Fire-Rescue spokesman.
East Jefferson Fire-Rescue was called to the fire at 200 Taylor St. at 10:35 a.m. after people noticed flames coming from the chimney, two stories above the basement-level restaurant.
Firefighters applied water from both the rooftop above and the kitchen below in an effort to put out the fire, Beezley said.
The fire was declared out and crews went into overhaul at 11:14 a.m.
Beezley said firefighters were challenged by the unusual configuration of the chimney.
It included several horizontal runs in addition to vertical segments as it passed behind the Coldwell Banker business located on the ground and second floors of the building.
The fire occurred almost one year after a similar fire broke out in the same chimney in April, Beezley said.
Engine 91 from Naval Magazine Indian Island and an engine and ambulance from Port Ludlow Fire & Rescue assisted.
