So before the seasonal Central The cooler temperatures of Autumn are upon us and this is a time of concern Sure, there are a few pitfalls to weather really sets in with a the incendiary method of heating vengeance, take the time to look for the Fire Service. This is a time when people start to light their fires to keep your home. into some of the options for warm and the problems associated with the cooler weather start to appear. As satisfying as it is to arrange, spoiling your fire this coming The first problem is the burning of green or damp wood. Burning green or wet wood Tetris-fashion, eight tonnes of season. in simple terms clogs the chimney with un-burnt particles called soot. The moisture driveway-blocking macrocarpa into Bluegum anyone? in the wood turns to steam and as this rises in the chimney the steam cools and along with the soot sticks to the inside of the chimney. This builds up to a point that given enough heat, say on a really cold night with a strong wind blowing and you have the fire cranked up to keep warm, the soot inside the chimney ignites. The first indication to you as the resident is usually a very loud noise from the chimney. It has been likened to that of a jet engine of an aircraft. At this point embers will start to drop down the chimney and if you have an exposed metal flue it will turn a cherry red in colour. The extreme heat inside the chimney, through radiated heat, can ignite other objects in the ceiling cavity and now you have a house on fi re. DOMESTIC + COMMERCIAL + DAIRY So this is, in simple terms, the unfolding indicators of a chimney fire. The question is how do we stop it and prevention is always better than a cure. 1. Burn dry firewood. If you buy it from a wood merchant get it now while they TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR ENERGY have a good stock of dry firewood. 2. Get your chimney cleaned before you light your fires. TODAY! 3. Have working smoke alarms throughout the house. The Fire Service recommends 5 working smoke alarms to a 3 bedroom house 4. If you have a chimney fire, phone the Fire Service on 111. The next problem, and a common cause of house fires, is the disposal of the ash. We know it takes 5 days and possibly longer, if you put the ash with other combustible material, for the ash to cool down. The ash needs to be either watered down straight away or put into a metal container with a lid. The metal container will allow the ash to cool over 5 days before being disposed of. The reason for the lid is if a wind gets up the ashes blow out of the top of the container and start spot fi res on the ground around the container. These fires often spread unnoticed to other objects around the house which in turn sets the side of the house on fi re. The greatest at risk time for a fire in your home is during the winter months. Take some practical steps to minimise the risk and the chances are you and your family will survive the winter.
