CHIMNEY FIRE
By following the instructions in this manual, including regular cleaning of the stove and
flue system you should avoid the possibility of a chimney fire. In the unlikely event that
one occurs, raise the alarm to let others in the house know, call the Fire Service, if time
and safety allows close the stove air controls, and exit the building.
