Fire Fighters do a Mary Poppings tribute
Firefighters from Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Service black watch team want you to remember to clean your chimney or flue. What better way to do this that to make a song and dance about it- Mary Poppins style! Click here to watch the full video!
Whilst this clip shows the lighter side of Fire Safety, it does promote an important message. Get your chimney swept regularly to avoid build up, which ultimately causes a fire.
Most people are unaware that there are approximately 40-50 deaths from Carbon Monoxide poising in the UK alone. This figure doesn’t include the many more victims who are admitted to hospital from Carbon Monoxide poisoning. On average, fire rescue services attend around 7,000 chimney fires each year. Chimney and Flue fires are a contributing factor to the current strain emergency services have on resources. Something which a simple Chimney or Flue sweep by a professional can help prevent.
When should you have your Chimney or Flue swept?
- Smokeless coals: At least once a year
- Wood: Once a season when in use
- Bitumous coal: Twice a year
- Oil: Once a year
- Gas: Once a year
