About
Chimney Fires and Chimney Safety
|
|
Did
you know that each
year as many as 40,000 chimney fires occur in US homes,
and that most of these fires could have been avoided
if the chimney
had been swept? Ensuring your family's safety begins
by having an annual inspection
of your chimney by a qualified professional chimney
sweep.
In the 211 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances
, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states, "Chimneys, fireplaces and vents shall be inspected at least once a year. Cleaning,
maintenance and repairs shall be done if necessary. Connectors,
spark arresters, cleanouts, and tee fittings for chimneys and
for oil and pellet venting systems shall be inspected at least
once a year for soundness and deposits".
