Chimney sweeps prevent fires by sweeping fireplaces and flues and checking that facilities are safe to use. It is a job where experience is of great importance. During combustion, soot will stick to the inside of the chimney. In the event of poor combustion, thick layers of soot, and sometimes even tar, quickly form on the inside of the chimney. If this layer catches fire, it can result in combustion that develops a lot of heat, a so-called soot fire. Image on a Swedish stamp
