On Thursday, December 14, 2023, at 10:38am, South Salem Firefighters, along with the Vista Fire Department on dual dispatch, were dispatched by 60-Control to a reported chimney fire on Boutonville Road. Within minutes of responding, Car 2452 arrived on scene and transmitted a 10-75 (working fire) for a two story wood frame residence with fire showing through the roof.

Engine 166 and Tanker 2 arrived on scene minutes after and a hand line was stretched to the upstairs bedroom of the residence. A water source was established by Engine 167 along with a portable pond being deployed in the event additional water was needed at the scene.
