Many fires are caused by incorrect operation of the fireplace or stove. In its latest campaign, the BFB fire prevention advice center shows how such fires can be easily prevented.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stoves and fireplaces that have not been in use for a long time should be checked and cleaned by a chimney sweep before they are used for the first time. Chimneys that are used irregularly can be blocked by bird or wasp nests, leaves or dirt. Parts of the system may also be damaged. A prior inspection by the chimney sweep is therefore essential.<\/p>\n

Stoves are often bought from specialist dealers and installed by the customers themselves. In doing so, they often forget which legal regulations must be complied with. Only a specialist can ensure that there is no risk of fire for residents during subsequent operation. The installation of a new stove must therefore be carried out by a specialist.<\/p>\n

It's that easy to prevent fires:<\/b><\/p>\n
