How can I prevent the chimney fire?

Here are a few things you can do to maintain a healthy chimney.
• Use only seasoned wood
• build smaller hotter fires that burn more completely
• never burn quantities of cardboard, wrapping paper, trash or Christmas trees.
• On your woodstove use a flue thermometer so you can make adjustments to produce a hotter burn
• have you chimney inspected at least once a year and cleaned as needed
