New Milford was on scene of a 2 story wood frame residential chimney fire that had extended into the wall on side "C" and up into the attic. New Milford command (D. McConnell) had requested the second alarm assignment and the next engine on the alarm to cover their station. While crews were assembling Communication advised the request had been upgraded to respond the tower to the scene and to cancel the standby request.
