It is time to check your chimney Deaths, injuries and millions of dollars in damages are caused every year by heating system fires in Ontario homes. Lack of chimney maintenance and im- proper use of woodstoves share much of the blame, experts say. "We cannot stress enough, the impor- tance of having chimneys of all kinds in- spected and cleaned at least once each year," says Bob Clendining, Fuels Safety Director for the Ontario Ministry of Con- sumer and Commercial Relations (MCCR). "This applies to furnace and fireplace chimneys, as well as woodstove flues. If you use your fireplace or stove often, it needs even more frequent cleaning." Anyone actually heating part of their home with wood, would do well to check their complete system on an ongoing basis, says Greg Alexander, Provincial Fire Coordinator with the Ministry of the Solicitor General. Woodstove safety doesn't stop with a clean flue pipe, he notes. Improper installation of wood burning appliances — especially the flue pipe that connects to the chimney — is also a con- cern, says Alexander. Stoves located too close to combustible material, particular- ly walls, can cause a phenomenon called pyrolysis. Over time, the heat from the stove causes a chemical change in the wood studs and other combustibles in walls, lowering the temperature required to make them burn. "People go along for years without pro- blems, then suddenly there's a major fire," Alexander says. "We do not know how many woodstoves are out there. Some fire chiefs are so concerned, they're going out to count chimneys and sending infor- mation packages to the homes they spot." The Canadian Standards Association code for the installation of wood burning appliances was first published in 1980. There have since been several changes to the standards and many stoves put in before the code was revised, are too close to walls, Alexander says. "Even after the changes, stoves may have been put , in wrong out of habit or sheer ignorance of the standards," he notes. A fourth edition of the code will soon be published. Most municipalities require building permits for new installations to ensure they adhere to the standards. Contact your municipal building department for details. Concerns about existing stoves may arise if homeowners did the installations themselves without knowledge ofsafety standards. A lot of do-it-yourselfers may not even read the manufacturers' instruc- tions, the fire safety co-ordinator says. If there is the slightest reason for con- cern, call the local building or fire depart- ment to get an inspection done. The stove or flue pipe may have to be moved or a heat shield installed to protect combustible materials, Alexander warns. "But think about the alternatives and the potential for a dangerous or deadly in- cident," he says. "Think of your fami- ly...think of the children." Aside from having chimneys cleaned and fireplace inserts or woodstoves in- spected, homeowners can take a number of steps to improve home safety, the ex- perts say. Install smoke alarms and be sure to keep them functioning properly. Consult manufacturers' instructions. Local fire of- ficials can provide vital information on how to maintain and install- these safety devices. Do not store wood or place furniture close to the fireplace or stove. Treat them as "combustible" materials and adhere to the manufacturer's suggested clearances. Appliances and flues that have passed stringent testing will bear the official cer- tification mark of the CSA, Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada (ULC) or War- nock Hersey Professional Services Ltd.
