Chimney Fire Safety Week

Chimney Fire Safety Week

Chimney Fire Safety Week
The annual Chimney Fire Safety Week takes place in 2016 from Monday 5th to Sunday 11th September. Led by the Fire Kills campaign, Fireplace World will also be supporting the campaign.

Fire is a major killer in the UK, causing roughly 382 deaths each year on average. These figures are on the decline, but the need for further fire safety awareness remains paramount in order to ensure these numbers keep dropping.

The Office of National Statistics refers to a chimney fire as any fire in an occupied building where the fire was confined within the chimney structure. In the year 2013-2014 there were 7,700, a decline of 18% (9,400) from the year previous. This decline is a positive step and proves how increased awareness of the causes of chimney fires can prevent major damage to homes, especially since the sales and installations of gas fires and solid fuel fires has increased over the last few years.

However, in the year 2014-2015 there were 6,695 chimney fires in the UK on average, this is still in decline but much more needs to be done. By keeping a clean chimney this will help prevent chimney damage and in worse cases, household fires.

Here are some helpful tips:
• Always use a fire guard to protect against flying sparks from hot embers

• Make sure embers are properly put out before you go to bed

• Keep chimneys and flues clean and well maintained

Unsure on how often you should have your chimney swept for your type of fire?

Please refer to the points below:

• Smokeless coals - At least once a year

• Wood - Up to four times a year

• Bituminous coal - Twice a year

• Oil - Once a year

• Gas - Once a year
