Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Top Three Causes of Chimney Fires
Most houses have chimneys which are majorly used during the cold season. Although it may not easily cross one's mind most of the reported fire cases have resulted from chimney fires. There are several causes of chimney fires; here we shall look at what is considered as the top three causes of chimney fires.

The first cause of chimney fire that crosses everyone's mind is creosote. Being highly flammable, creosote can be easily ignited by sparks going up the chimney. It is therefore important to regularly clean the chimney to remove deposits of creosote so as to reduce the risk of fire. The major cause of formation of creosote is the use of un-seasoned wood thus it is also imperative that you only use wood that is well-cured.

A flue whose diameter is small and cannot support the exhaust from the fire are another major cause of chimney fire as it forces the products back towards the fire place as opposed to directing them out through the chimney. The impact caused by these exhaust on the fire may cause sparks and ash from the fireplace to surrounding items which would then ignite leading to fires. Cracks along the chimney lining are another cause of chimney fires. Cracks allow flames to get to materials surrounding the chimney leading to fires.

How Are the Chimney Fires Caused?

Whenever you burn any wood in the fireplace or wood stove, smoke created starts to travel up at chimney. When it travels upwards on the chimney, smoke begins to cool down & condenses. Condensation leads to smoke particles bonding it together to form the gummy or flaky substance on inside of chimney. And this substance is called as creosote & is leading cause of chimney fires. The creosote is flammable, even if single spark travels up to chimney & ignites it, there can be the strong and raging fire within matter of some minutes. Sparks are possible to go up chimney when the materials like tissue paper and wrapping paper get thrown in fire. For this reason, it's very important to clean the chimneys on regular basis. Cleaning helps to get rid of creosote and reduces risks of fires. The creosote is formed because of use of the unseasoned and green wood in fireplace. Thus, using cured wood can help to keep danger on bay. Also, hot, small and roaring fire won't cause much buildup of the creosote as slow and large fire. Leaving the wood embers smoldering out for long time is chimney fire hazard.

Safety Tips

Getting certified chimney specialist for cleaning and inspecting chimney and wood stove each year is highly preventive measure. Area around hearth should be free from debris and any type of the flammable material & metal mesh screen is placed on fireplaces that don't have glass door. Ensure you do not use the flammable liquids in order to start the fire or build the small fires thus smoke is kept to the minimum. Wood logs must get placed well inside fireplace before igniting flame.
