In the event of a chimney fire, first call your local fire department and water
the roof in the vicinity of the chimney.
Make sure that the furnace door and the air intake damper are closed (if need be,
lower the thermostat setting or unhook the air intake damper connecting rod).
CLOSE the barometric draft damper manually if one is installed.
In the event of uncontrollable fire (caused by wrongful operation or excessive
chimney draft), follow the same procedure as in a chimney fire but you must then
OPEN the barometric draft damper manually if one is installed.
