The dangers of a dirty chimney

Even though a lot of people do not enjoy the idea of a dirty chimney, it is definitely more than a minor nuisance . A filthy or creosote-filled chimney can create fires, damage structures and even injure or kill people- to put it simply, they are not something which should be dismissed. In general indications of a chimney fire are described as a loud noise; an excess of smoke and an extreme odor. What's frequently misunderstood about chimney fires is the fact that chimney fires may be explosive. The sound has been described as a runaway train or a low flying plane and smoke may shoot out of the chimney.
