Found out most chimney fires start from creosote on just the first 2 inches of the flue
Read that in a CSIA report last month and it changed how I do every inspection now, I used to skim right past that top section. Anyone else seeing that same pattern on their calls this season?
Guilty of staring at the firebox for ten minutes and barely glancing at the top two inches, so this one hit home for me. Been finding the same thing on my calls this season, that top section is where the action is.
