While this winters has been unseasonably warm, we continue to respond to chimney fires.

Don't forget to get your chimney Inspected and cleaned by licensed chimney specialist annually and keep the chimney and roof clear of trees, leaves, needles and other debris. Also check flues for birds’ nests & blockages at start of heating season.

The attached pictures from a recent response show a clogged chimney cap from a prefab metal chimney. Inspection and cleaning is often overlooked on this type of chimney construction, but it is just as important as on a masonry chimney.
