The Woodstock Fire Department was called out this evening to Golf Street Extension after neighbors saw strange smoke — with a detectable strange smell – coming out of the chimney of house behind theirs.
Fire fighters entered the building — which is the second home of an out-of-town owner — to find a fully flooded basement (the Kedron Brook had risen over its banks on Maple Street and beyond Sunday). At the same time a furnace was apparently running, switched on somehow and creating the smoke and electrical smell.
Without further incident the fire fighters turned off the furnace and left the building.
