With nighttime temperatures getting close to freezing, we'd like to take this opportunity to remind you to please have your chimney inspected and/or schedule a cleaning as soon as possible. Before you light your first fire of the season is the safest course of action in case animals have nested inside or creosote from last year is built up enough to catch fire.
Every year we respond to homes that have caught fire caused by unsafe chimneys, and they are preventable with proper maintenance. We have many certified chimney sweeps in our mountain community and they book up quickly around this time of year - don't delay calling them!
