Overview: Fire and safety experts are reminding home owners and others - especially those who've stepped up wood burning to help offset the rising cost of fossil fuels and colder-than-normal weather - to make sure the chimney and fire box are indeed heaters and not hazards. The California Real Estate Inspection Association says more problematic fireplaces and chimneys need special attention. For starters, hire a trade-certified chimney sweep, licensed home inspector experienced in chimney, fireplace and wood burning stove inspections, a licensed general contractor or other professional experienced in looking into the firebox and up and down the flue to spot cracks, obstructions in the chimney, creosote build up, building code failures and other conditions that could turn a warm hearth into a tragic conflagration.
