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.
