Hereford, UK - A Chimney fire is both dangerous and frightening. The temperature inside a flue can very reach up to 1,100°c. as deposits in the flue or chimney catch light due to high temperatures or flames extending from a fire or appliance.It can take hold very quickly and present an even greater risk to properties with wooden or thatched roofs. Sparks can spread from the top of the chimney or through cracks in the flue and ignite the roof, roof timbers or other parts of the property. Adjacent properties and any nearby trees are also at risk.
If you think that you may have had a fire in your chimney or flue, it is important to get it inspected by an experienced chimney professional before using it again.
