If a chimney catches fire, dear

If a chimney catches fire, dear the house and call the fire department. Close fireplace or stove doors and shut stove draft controls^ Throwing baking soda into the woodburning stove or fireplace may help. Try discharging a dry chemical fire extinguisher into the stove. Whatever is done, don’t fight the fire if there’s any chance you could get trapped in a smoky, burning house. If you have a chimney fire, have the chimney inspected by a competent chimney sweep before using it again. To prevent chimney fires, periodically inspect the chimney and dean out creosote deposits. Also, manage the use of a woodstove to limit the production and accumulation of creosote. Bum the stove for 20 minutes every day at arhigh operating temperature to clear accumulated deposits from the flue and chimney.
