House fires are very damaging, and at worst, fatal. You can lose everything. But they do happen, and some of the reasons why are below:
- You don’t regularly have your chimney inspected for potential problems or unseen damage
- You let soot and creosote build up through a lack of regular sweeping
- You don’t have working smoke alarms fitted
- You leave an open fire unattended, or leave the doors open on a stove/wood burner
- You use unseasoned or poor quality fuels
- You use chemicals or accelerants to start your fire
- You don’t use a reputable, qualified and experienced chimney sweep
Please take note – keep you, your family, your property and other people safe from the risk of fire!
