Pagina afdrukkenCombustion gasses can deposit debris such as soot, ash and creosote on the inner walls of the main
flue which, under certain circumstances, can cause a fire in the flue. A chimney fire can reach very
high temperatures, which is why flue liners must be capable of resisting these temperatures.
What to do in case of a Chimney Fire?
-Keep Calm. A chimney fire will last until the deposited material has been consumed by the fire.
This can last up to 20 minutes.
-Close the stove door. Do not open it for any reason, not even to extinguish the fire or remove
the logs.
-Close all air vents.
-Remove anything moveable near the flue. If any material around the flue starts smouldering or
blackening, cool the material down with a damp cloth.
-Watch the flue outlet on the roof. If any sparks start coming out, soak the roof around
flue.
How to avoid Chimney Fires?
-Use only dry fuel.
-Never leave the stove door open for long periods of time while a fire is burning.
-Avoid low, smoky fires. Ensure the fire is burning vigorously before setting the fire to extended
combustion.
-Clean the flue at least once a year, more if you use coal or softwood.
