Chimney Fire Videos and More

Annual chimney sweeping removes the majority of combustible creosote buildup in the chimney interior (called the flue), and greatly reduces the chances of a chimney fire occurring in the home.

[show_more align=”center” more=”Read” less=”Less”] If you are having a chimney fire:
  • Close off the air supply to the fire at the fireplace opening. If you have fireplace doors, close them. If you have an air shutter adjustment, close it.
  • Call the local Fire Department.
  • Have a Qualified Chimney Professional perform a Level 2 Live Scan Video Camera Inspection on the chimney.




Maybe Chimney Sweeps are actually Chimney Heroes! We will post several Chimney Fire Video links on this page as time goes on,  and things you can do to ensure your house is as safe as it possibly can be! Right now we are still building up our library. Videos are a quick way to see the damage a chimney fire can do. It is a super dangerous fire that is really hard to put out. That is why most firefighters will recommend a yearly inspection and sweep.

We have lived in a 250 year old dutch farmhouse for the last 26 years. One of the fireplaces was so poorly reconstructed, most likely from the 50-60's that we could never use the fireplace. I called Kurt at Midtown and he suggested a wood-burning insert stove . He suggested a contractor to help with closing-in the fireplace hearth so that it seamlessly would receive the wood stove. They had to be pretty creative in how to make this work, and were really patient and focused on getting the best look possible for the age of the house.
In the first month after having the wood burning insert installed, we have used it at least 20 times. Its super easy to fire, draws great, and warms the room fantastically. My wife is thrilled... which is saying something! Nice work Midtown Chimney. We couldn't be happier.

Mike did a great job repairing shoddy work done by another vendor before him. After finding switches on 3 of my propane fireplaces had their safety wires removed he went about repairing and bringing all of them up to code and working order. Everything works great now. Thank you!

We have had Levi twice now. The first year Levi came and did an amazing job not only for me, but my father as well. Levi is timely, professional, but my favorite personable. The other thing about MTCS is their website works and the phone staff is great as well. Levi just cleaned our Kuma wood stove for this year and once again showed up prompt with a friendly personality. He got right to work and did another fantastic job. Lastly, MTCS and Levi not only does a fantastic job, but their pricing will beat the pants off of anyone in our area. Thank you Levi and MTCS for being phenomenal at what you do.

Byron is the best! Beau serviced my freestanding gas stove for the 1st time in 12 years. He did diagnose a bit of a faulty pilot assembly. After replacing the pilot assembly there were some issues with the flame pulling off the thermocouple resulting with the stove refusing to stay burning for longer than 1 minute. After trying several fixes while consulting with Byron and even the Quadrafire techs the problem still remained. Byron came out personally a couple of days later and fixed the problem in less than 10 minutes. His experience really came through for us.
Beau and Byron will certainly to service our gas stove as well as our wood burner that Byron actually installed about 15 years ago.
Don't hesitate to call Mid Town for your fireplace and stove services.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your five-star review of our gas fireplace and gas stove repair and diagnosis business in the Evergreen and Conifer and Bailey area!

We moved into a home with a faulty fireplace and couldn’t be happier that we called Midtown Chimney of Franktown. Mike showed up promptly and was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He clearly explained all of our replacement options and helped us choose the best solution without any pressure.

When additional electrical work was needed, Mike went above and beyond by arranging for an electrician to come out the very same day. The coordination was seamless, and the end result is a beautiful fireplace that we absolutely love.

What truly sets Mike and his team apart is their integrity and kindness. He even followed up afterward to make sure everything was working perfectly. Honest people, quality workmanship, and fair pricing are hard to find—but Midtown Chimney delivers on all three. We would recommend them every single time!

I’ve been using Midtown Chimney Sweeps for 3 years now. They were recommended by my home appraiser and I’ve been extremely pleased with their services ever since. Their initial inspection as part of the home sale process was very thorough, and their subsequent services have been excellent as well

Midtown Chimney Sweeps, Daniel Ferreyra and his assistant, were outstanding from the moment we scheduled them until the project was completed. These guys were the utmost professional and personable individuals, working as a team. Our chimney was is disarray, unable to be used, and needed extensive repairs. Daniel was very thorough in his explanation of the work to be done. The job was completed perfectly and we are now enjoying the use of our fireplace. Personally, I will only use Midtown for any future cleanings and maintenance. I HIGHLY recommend Daniel and Midtown Chimney for any of your chimney needs.

I cannot recommend Midtown Chimney Sweep enough! What started out as a routine inspection turned into Kurt discovering several serious hazards in my fireplace. We have multiple fires each year, and Kurt truly prevented a potential catastrophe. He provided detailed pictures of the damage and thoroughly explained the repair process. I’m so grateful for his expertise and professionalism—thank you, Midtown Chimney Sweep!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Maureen, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Kurt was able to identify and address the hazards in your fireplace, ensuring your safety. Your kind words about his expertise and professionalism mean a lot to us. We're grateful for your trust in Midtown Chimney Sweeps and are always here to help!
Byron was super helpful and honest. Offered us a solution for fireplace doors that didn't even serve his business, but gave us a lot of helpful tips! Super nice!
Response from the owner:Well thank you for the kind words about our fireplace door conversation! Thank you for sharing your feedback with the Boulder City and Boulder County community of chimney sweep and firepalce installation customers!
