What was found
CHIMNEY RIP FAILED TO OPEN WHEN PULLED PREVENTING DEFLATION AND RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE. UPON LANDING, 3 OF 4 SAFETY TIES WERE PULLED OPEN BY THE PILOT, BUT THE FOURTH WOULD NOT BREAK. THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE PILOT (210 POUNDS) JUMPING 20 INCHES WITH THE RED LINE, WOULD NOT ACTUATE THE RIP. ONCE THE BALLOON WAS BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL, 9 FIREMEN WERE LIFTED OFF THE GROUND BY THE RED LINE BEFORE THE CHIMNEY OPENED.
