Chimney Fire

A fire in a chimney flue is usually because of residue or build up of tar, soot or grease. In the event the chimney is on fire, contact the emergency services

Regular cleaning of the chimney will help prevent fires. Clean fuel will also help and burning hot fires tends to use up the fuel and produce less residue, particularly if the flue gets hot enough to allow the exhaust to exit the flue before cooling and condensing in the flue.
