Don't be a chimney fire. Chimney fires are dangerous and destructive. They can cause damage to your home, your belongings, and even your life. But there are things you can do to prevent chimney fires. Keep your chimney clean. Creosote is a flammable substance that builds up in your chimney over time. If it's not removed, it can catch fire and cause a chimney fire. Have your chimney cleaned by a professional at least once a year. Don't burn wet wood. Wet wood produces more creosote than dry wood. So if you're going to burn wood in your fireplace, make sure it's dry. Don't overfire your fireplace. When you overfire your fireplace, you're creating more heat and more creosote. So keep the fire at a moderate level. Don't leave your fireplace unattended. If you leave your fireplace unattended, you're increasing the risk of a chimney fire. So always make sure to put out the fire before you leave the room. Be aware of the signs of a chimney fire. If you see smoke coming from your chimney, hear popping or crackling sounds, or smell a strong odor of smoke, you may have a chimney fire. Call the fire department immediately. By following these tips, you can help prevent chimney fires and keep your home safe.
