E. Chimney Fire
In the event of a chimney fire:

qualified professionals. Hearth & Home Technologies
recommends that NFI or CSIA certified professionals, or
technicians under the direction of certified professionals,
conduct a minimum of an NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection
of the chimney.
• Replace components of the chimney and fireplace as
specified by the professionals.
• Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimney

A chimney fire can permanently damage your chimney sys-
tem. Failure to replace damaged components and make
proper repairs creates risk of fire.
