Great Day for a Chimney Fire! 27/11/2017

I'm often asked what a chimney fire is like. Half of them sound like a freight train, the other half are slow rumblers often not heard by the residents.

Burn dried seasoned wood and have your chimney inspected and cleaned yearly. If you're looking for a chimney sweep in your area, use the sweeps finder on http://www.ncsg.org/ Burn safe and warm!

To further prevent chimney fires, please take the time to share this video with one or two of your friends! Greatly appreciated, Clay Lamb, your Cincinnati Chimney Sweep! Leave a comment!
