Liberty 183, Lincoln 184, and Port Vue 237 were dispatched for an odor investigation on C street.  Crews were having a difficult time finding the cause of the odor.  There was a definite smell of something burning, such as rubber.

After multiple searches with nothing found, Chief 183 requested Truck 161 to bring their truck and camera to check the chimney and roof.  Truck 161 setup and found no issues with the chimney or roof area.

Crews proceeded back into the house and determined the odor was strongest in the kitchen and living room area.  At that point, they found the refrigerator was malfunctioning and determined that as the cause of the smell.

The homeowner was updated and all crews cleared.  Units on scene included Engine 183-1, Engine 184, Engine 237-1, Truck 161, Liberty Boro PD, and Elizabeth Twp EMS.
