What's It Like to Have A Chimney Fire
It's no picnic. Chances are it will only scare the daylights out of you. However, it can damage the house considerably if allowed to get out of control. A chimney fire burns so hot (sometimes in excess of 2,000°) that it can crack the flue tiles and spread to other parts of the house. The brickwork itself can radiate enough heat to ignite paneling or surrounding woodwork. The fire can melt mortar from the chimney joints and send it flying into the air like a roman candle with red hot pieces falling on your roof and that of your neighbors. Add to that the embarassment of having three firetrucks parked in your driveway, and you can begin to get the picture.
