To Avoid a Chimney Fire
1. Burn wood cleanly. Do not burn wet wood or turn down the unit too quickly after loading.
2. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a chimney fire is possible.
3. Do not have fires in the heater that may ignite chimney fires. These are excessively hot fires, such as when
burning household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or even ordinary fuel wood; (eg. with a full load
on a hot bed of coals and with the air inlet wide open for more time than is needed to completely char a
fresh fuel load.)
4. The Chimney and connector pipe should be inspected /cleaned periodically.
In the event of a Chimney Fire
Have a fire extinguisher handy. Contact your local municipal or state/provincial fire authority for further
information on how to handle a chimney fire. It is most important that you have a clearly understood plan
on how to handle a chimney fire.
1. Close down the air inlet on the stove.
2. Call the local fire department.
3. 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.
4. After the chimney fire is out, the chimney must be cleaned and checked for stress and cracks before
starting another fire. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof. The services of a
competent or certified installer, (certified by the Wood Energy Technical Training program (WETT) - in
Canada, National Fireplace Institute (NFI) - in U.S.A., are strongly recommended.
