Chimney Fire Video- Midtown Chimney Sweeps Franchising

At Midtown, Your Safety Is Our Mission

Annual chimney sweeping removes most of the creosote buildup in your flue. That service greatly reduces the chance of a chimney fire occurring at your home.

If you’re 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 your local fire department.
Have a Qualified Chimney Professional fulfill a Level 2 Inspection (complete with a live-scan video camera) on the chimney.
