Chimney Fire Safety Week runs from the 1st – 7th September 2025, led by the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps. The campaign highlights the importance of chimney maintenance to prevent dangerous and potentially deadly fires.
Chimney fires can escalate quickly, causing property damage and exposing occupants to toxic gases. A common misconception is that a chimney fire “cleans” itself, but in reality, it can leave hidden damage. After any fire, a professional inspection is essential.
Regular chimney sweeps are key to safety. Your local professional sweep can clean, inspect, and advise on fuel use, repairs, and fire prevention. Home and Business owners should also ensure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working, avoid flammable liquids near fires, and never leave fires unattended.
