In case of the chimney fire, you must:
• immediately call the Fire Brigade
• extinguish the fire in the stove as much as possible, using sand or soil
• do not extinguish the fire with water, since the rapid cooling of the chimney and evaporation of water can cause
cracks and spread of the fire
• cut off the chimney air supply – close the door, close the primary air intake and secondary air intake (if possible)
• Once the fire is extinguished, chimney sweep company should carry out an inspection of chimney technical
condition, before you light the fire in the stove again.

Probable cause
Use wood that moisture content not exceeds 20% (seasoned wood
for 2 years in a covered and well-ventilated place).
When setting a fire, use small pieces of wood. To maintain the fire
use splintered logs.
Increase air supply by opening the air intake diaphragm.
Check if the flue gas damper is not closed (open in case it is closed).
Arrange an inspection of chimney flue to check if there is no leakage
or if the flue is not clogged (clean if needed).
Decrease air supply by closing the air intake diaphragm.
Order the installation of automatic regulator of chimney draft.
Use hard wood from deciduous trees like oak, hornbeam, beech, ash
. Do not use conifer wood.
Heat up the flue chimney – to set a fire use for example paper or
very small pieces of wood.
Check if the flue gas damper is not closed (open in case it is closed).
Arrange an inspection of chimney flue to check if there is no leakage

Use hard wood from deciduous trees like oak, hornbeam, beech, ash
. Do not use conifer wood.
Check if the flue gas damper is not closed (open in case it is closed

secondary air intake diaphragm (if equipped). Check if the ash pan
chamber and ash pan itself are not full of ash – if yes, empty the ash
pan and clean the chamber.
Use hard wood from deciduous trees like oak, hornbeam, beech,
ash, that moisture content not exceeds 20% (seasoned wood for 2
