12/28/2017 - ROCKLAND, MASSACHUSETTS (PLYMOUTH COUNTY) - Around 1330 hours on the afternoon of Thursday, December 28, 2017 the Rockland Fire Department responded to 430 Concord Street for a reported chimney fire. Companies arrived to find an active chimney fire in a 1-story occupied wood framed ranch dwelling. A ground ladder was thrown to the roof and firefighters worked to contain the fire. No extension was found, the fire was contained to the chimney. Firefighters braved the extremely cold weather, with temperatures just hovering around 10 degrees Fahrenheit. This was the first of two chimney fires that Rockland would battle on this day. The second fire was at 5 Daniel Teague Drive. Hanson Tower-1 responded mutual aid to that fire, as Rockland's ladder is currently out of service.
