CHIMNEY FIRE
Communicate with the municipal or provincial fires prevention services to obtain information on the
way of controlling chimney fires. If a chimney fire is declared they, will know exactly what measures
to take.
If you presume the existence of a chimney fire it is recommended to:
Close the doors and the combustion control key of the stove
Advise all family members
Call the fire department if help is needed
Try to extinguish or control fire with a dry extinguisher, baking soda, sand or ashes. Never use salt
because it is corrosive, nor water, because it could cause a vapour explosion
.
Make sure that the sparks leaving the chimney do not ignite the roof.
Have your stove and chimney inspected by the fire protection organisation before using again
.
SMOKE DETECTOR
You should not install your smoke detector too close to your stove because it will go off when
opening the door for loading
