On June 3, Byram Fire Department was dispatched to 56 Fieldstone Trial for the reported chimney fire. On scene, Engine 4 notified dispatch of heavy smoke coming from the eves of the residence, prompting the 2nd alarm. Engine 4's crew made entry, pushing to the second floor, where fire was found and had spread into the attic. The bulk of the fire was knocked down quickly, preventing further spreading and structural damage. Arriving units went straight to work, conducting ventilation efforts and overhaul.
