City of East Grand Rapids recently issued the following announcement.
According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, all chimneys, fireplaces and vents should be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits and correct clearances. Even if you don't use your chimney often, animals may build nests in the flue or there may be other types of deterioration that could make the chimney unsafe to use.
Public Safety encourages you to take this step in fire prevention to keep you and your loved ones safe.
