Creosote is difficult to remove and when it ignites makes a very hot fire that is likely to crack the masonry and char adjacent timbers. The only safe method of removal is to chip it from the masonry with a blade or straihtened out hoe attached to a pipe or handle. A heavy chain drawn up and down the flue walls is sometimes effective. However, when crosote is removed, care is necessary not to knock out mortar joints or to break flue lining.
Large quantities of salt thrown on the fire in the grate or fire place will extinguish a chimney fire. A fire in a fire place flue can' be checked in its intensity and freq ue n 11 y extinguished by first quenching the fire on die hearth and then holding a wet rug or blanket over the opening so as tb shut off die air.

Before extinguishing a fire in h flue, cover openings into the rooms so that the soot will not spread over furnishings.
