What to do in the Event of a Fire
In the event of a fire involving your fireplace, chimney, or wood burning appliance:
Call 911. Do not attempt to extinguish the fire before notifying the fire department.
Alert other family members and meet outside your home at your prearranged meeting spot.
Leave a light on outside your home so the fire department can quickly locate you.
Do not re-enter your home until after the fire department has determined that it is safe to do so.
Warning: A Certificate of Compliance issued by the Technical Services Department is required by the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code before placing any solid fuel burning appliance or chimney into operation. An inspection by a code enforcement personnel must be made before placing a solid fuel burning appliance or chimney into operation after a fire.
