Question 1

What counts as a chimney emergency?

Accepted Answer

Call immediately if you: smell smoke in your home with the fireplace sealed, hear loud cracking or roaring from the flue while burning, see dense black or brown smoke (not white), have a CO detector alarm go off, or see visible damage from a fire, storm, or fallen tree. Always call 911 first if there is immediate danger, then call us at 443-467-5845.

Question 2

What should I do if I suspect a chimney fire?

Accepted Answer

Immediately: close the damper and fireplace doors, evacuate your home, call 911, and then call Baltimore Chimneys at 443-467-5845. Do not use the fireplace again until a CSIA Level II inspection confirms the liner and structure are undamaged. Chimney fires can smolder for hours inside the walls of your home without visible flames.
