Smoke filling the room

Smoke filling a room or the house means everyone goes outside first, and 911 is called from the yard. Smoke in the house is a fire-department call first, however it started. Nobody goes back inside for windows, pets' bowls or the damper.

Once everyone is safe and the fire department has done its part, the chimney and fireplace need to be checked before they are used again. A blocked flue, a closed damper or damage from heat are the usual causes, and each is found and written down. For that follow-up in Oceanway, call (904) 920-5495; our line is answered 24/7.

Oceanway lies within Duval County. Oceanway is inland.

When 911 comes before the chimney line

Three situations go to 911 first, every time. With smoke spreading through the house, a carbon monoxide alarm going off or flames in the chimney, step outside with everyone and dial 911 from there.

None of those is a job for a chimney contractor in the first minutes. Our part starts after responders have cleared the house, with a careful look at the chimney before anyone uses it. The order matters, and this pool of advice never asks you to call us before you have called 911. Responders can also shut off power or gas if they need to, which is not a job for anyone else in that moment.

Safe steps before the crew arrives

Stay off the roof. Wet shingles, wind and darkness make it dangerous, and a fall does far more harm than any leak. Indoors, pull furniture and rugs clear of the water, lay towels, set a bucket under drips and keep kids and animals out of the room.

A cold firebox with a working damper can have the plate shut to slow rain falling down an open flue. Leave the damper open while embers still glow. An animal in the fireplace stays behind closed doors or a covered opening, with the room shut, until help comes.

Why the fireplace stays cold after an emergency

After a storm, a blockage or a fire in the flue, the safest assumption is that the chimney has not been proven sound. Cracked tiles, a shifted cap or a nest resting on the smoke shelf can all hide above the damper, and a fire lit under them turns a repair into a hazard.

So the note from the visit says in plain words whether the fireplace may be used, and if not, what has to happen first. That usually means an examination in daylight and any repair it finds. Once the chimney is cleared, the note is updated so everyone in the house knows.

Emergency questions from Oceanway

Do you handle chimney emergencies in Oceanway?

Yes. The line covers Duval County, Oceanway included, 24/7. For smoke, fire or gas, leave the house and reach 911 or the gas company first; after that, ring (904) 920-5495.

What if a bird is nesting in the chimney?

We identify it first. Some birds are protected while nesting, and then the answer may be to wait with the fireplace closed off rather than remove the nest.
