Procedure to Follow in Case of a Chimney Fire

A. 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.

B. Close all the air controls on the stove.

C. Call the ﬁre department. Have a ﬁre extinguisher handy.

D. After the chimney ﬁre is out, the chimney must be cleaned and checked for stress and cracks before

re-use. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof.

Check daily for creosote build-up until experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the

hotter the ﬁre, the less creosote is deposited. Weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather even though monthly

cleaning may be enough in the coldest months. Contact your local municipal or provincial ﬁre authority for more

information on how to handle a chimney ﬁre. It is extremely important to have a clear plan on how to handle a chimney

ﬁre.

Choice of Firewood

Some types of wood are easier to light than others. The best ﬁre wood, and easiest to light, is always dry wood. Using

dry wood will minimize creosote buildup. Damp wood has far less heating power. It is difﬁcult to light, burns badly and

gives off smoke. This lowers the combustion temperature of the ﬁre, and therefore the output. Above all, the use of

damp wood causes the formation of deposits (tarring and soot staining) on the window glass and in the chimney ﬂue,

and could eventually cause a chimney ﬁre.

Logs up to 18 inches in length allow for better stacking, ﬁlling and operation of your stove.

Use dry wood which, by deﬁnition, is wood which has been dried under cover for more

than 18 months so that the logs contain less than 20% moisture.

Wood supplied in ready-cut lengths stored immediately under a ventilated shelter dries

quicker than wood stocked in high piles. Quarters (split wood) dry quicker than round

logs. Wood which is too small to split must be drained, by removing some of the bark.

Round logs left in the open for more than a year end up rotten. The drying time for the

ﬁre wood should be at least 18 months to 2 years. This period can be shortened (12 to 15

months) if the wood is cut to the right length and immediately stored under a ventilated

shelter.

DO NOT USE FUELS OTHER THAN SEASONED WOOD.

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR

SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY

FROM THE HEATER WHILE IN USE.

DO NOT BURN TRASH OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL.

Heating the air in a closed building decreases the relative humidity of the air, which will dry wood and other combustible

materials. This drying lowers the ignition temperature of these materials, thus increasing the ﬁre hazard. To reduce the

risk of ﬁre, some provision should be made for replenishing moisture to the air whenever a structure is being heated for

extended periods.

Unattended Fires

Many structure ﬁres have resulted when a slow burning ﬁre has been left unattended for an extended period of time.

These ﬁres normally occur because combustible materials close to an appliance become heated to the ignition point

by an over-ﬁred appliance which the operator thought was safely “throttled down.”

Fire intensity is a function of several factors. One of these factors is draft. Normally, increasing draft increases

ﬁre intensity. Conversely, increasing the ﬁre intensity will increase draft. Draft can also be affected by external

factors such as wind strength and direction, outside temperature, airﬂow in or out of the structure, and so forth.

If one of these factors changes, the draft of a low-burning appliance may increase. This increased draft may

cause dangerously high temperatures to develop, possibly causing failure of the unit or ﬂue, or ignition of nearby

combustibles. Closing down the combustion air ﬂow controls may not guarantee that this will not happen.

Exercise extreme caution if a ﬁre must be left unattended.
