Chimney Fire Prevention

Have Your Chimney and Fireplace Cleaned and Inspected Annually!

A damaged chimney can spread re to the surrounding areas in your home. A dirty chimney with a lot of creosote and soot buildup is dangerous because these materials burn at very high temperatures, spreading the re. It is therefore important to have your chimney and replace checked annually. For best results, use the services of a certi ed chimney sweep. Annual cleaning of the chimney will ensure better passage for the smoke and exhaust gases, in addition to regular removal of dangerous creosote

Build Small Fires A small re that burns well does not produce as much creosote as a large re that is burning slowly. This is because a re that burns brightly produces lesser smoke and soot, thereby reducing the buildup on the inside of the chimney. Small res are also safer and easier to control

Use Seasoned Wood Dry, seasoned wood is the best choice for starting a re. This is because wet wood burns slowly, creating more smoke, which condenses on the inside of the chimney. This results in an increase in the creosote deposits in your chimney. To build any re, always use wood that has been seasoned for six months or longer

Never Use Paper or Combustible Liquids in the Fireplace Never use combustible materials or liquids to start a re. The ames can get out of hand very quickly, resulting in disaster. Never burn paper, garbage, plants, Christmas trees or wrapping paper in a replace. These materials can oat up the chimney when a ame and ignite the creosote deposits on top, resulting in a chimney re

Use a Chimney Liner A chimney liner is an essential part of a re prevention plan. Chimney liners provide better air ow, better exhaust passage for combustion gases and also protect the chimney structure from excessive heating and exhaust fumes. As a result, your chimney is easier to keep clean. The chimney structure is protected from damage, thereby reducing the chances of a chimney re

Install a Chimney Cap A chimney cap prevents unwanted elements in your chimney. Animals or birds setting up residence in the chimney could ignite a chimney re. Also, leaves or twigs that could fall inside are highly

ammable and can result in a chimney re

Ensure Good Air Supply Restriction in the air supply to the replace aids in the formation of creosote. To improve air ow, ensure that the replace damper is fully open. Leave the glass doors open to ensure that the air supply is not cut o while the re is burning
