• Chimney fire .
If, despite all the precautions, a fire should occur in the chimney (you
generally notice that because of a roaring sound in the chimney), do the
following :
• Immediately shut the chimney flap (if fitted).
• Immediately shut the air supply to the stove .
• Call the fire brigade (
(
112).
• Quickly quench the fire in the appliance with sand or soda in order to
prevent smoke in your house.
• Never use water to put out the fire .
• Ventilate.
• If there has been a fire in the chimney, have it swept and inspected for
damage and leakage .
7.2. OUTPUT
In practice, combustion is all about loss . This entails:
• Loss through excess heat leaving the chimney, rather than going into the
room.
• Loss through insufficient combustion, such as CO (carbon monoxide) and
soot particles.
• Loss through excessive unburnt fuel in the ash.
The rate at which fuel can burn completely is called the output. A well-stoked
fire achieves output of 75% and thus falls into the category of high-output/
low emissions fires. This means that you benefit directly by using less wood to
achieve the same level of heat. The environment benefits as well: a well-stoked,
high-output appliance means less pollution and fewer odours.
