7. d to carbon monoxide poisoning If fume emission persists the following immediate actions should be taken Open doors and windows to ventilate the room or cabin e Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance Check the flue for blockage and clean if required Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected If necessary seek advice from a competent person 3 6 Actions in case of a chimney fire Chimneys and exhaust tubes with a connected solid fuel burner need to be cleaned at least 6 times per year During normal operation but particularly when heating with damp fuels sedimentation of soot and tar accumulates in the chimney The neglect of the chimney maintenance and its cleaning increases the likelihood of the chimney catching fire Should this occur please proceed as follows Never attempt to extinguish fire with water Reduce the appliance burning rate by closing all air controls if safe to do so Move furniture and rugs away from the appliance and remove any nearby ornaments if safe to do so Place a fire guard or spark guard in front of the appliance if safe to do so If necessary o raise the alarm vacate the building craft if possible and let occupants of any adjacent craft or buildings know o call the Fire Brigade and o determine best means for the Fire Brigade to gain access to the craft or building and wait for their arrival
