Mount Egerton Fire Brigade- Country Fire Authority<\/strong><\/p>\n

A good reminder about making sure the flue or chimney is cleaned if you burn wood for heating. <\/p>\n

Depending how much wood is burnt cleaning may need to happen a couple of times over winter.<\/p>\n

The cold weather is here and wood fires are being lit across the region.<\/p>\n

But stop for a minute and ask yourself \u2013 have you checked, or better still, cleaned your chimney or flue lately?<\/p>\n

Every winter we start getting calls to chimney fires, as do CFA brigades across the state. But we are hoping this is the year we don\u2019t get any.<\/p>\n

With upcoming wintry conditions a sign of what\u2019s coming, you should be ensuring your chimney and\/or flue are not clogged before lighting your fireplaces.<\/p>\n

Keep your home and your family safe this winter by checking your chimney:<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Use a torch to check for creosote build-up or obstructions like bird nests.
\n\u2022 Have your chimney professionally cleaned annually.<\/p>\n
