The use of damp fuel or fuel of the wrong type may cause soot deposits in the chimney which
can ignite. In case of a chimney fire, close the primary and secondary air slides and the door
to the fire chamber. Call the fire service, heating engineer, chimney sweep. Before re-lighting
the fire, have the chimney inspected by a qualified engineer. Do not attempt to extinguish
