Procedure to follow in case of a chimney fire
A. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone's safety. Have a well-understood plan of action for
evacuation. Have a place outside where everyone is to meet.
B. Close all the air controls on the stove.
C. Call the fire department. Have a fire extinguisher handy.
D. After the chimney fire is out, the chimney must be cleaned and checked for stress and
cracks before re-use. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof.
Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and firing technique. Check daily for creosote build-
up until experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the

Clean the ceramic glass when cold, using commercial products sold for this purpose, or warm
