On Scene Review: Chimney Snuffer Kit

 -Our blog, On Scene with TheFireStore & The FireGeezer Blog are working together doing a review program of products we think you'll benefit from hearing an inside perspective. -

This week we are reviewing the Chimney Snuffer. Lieutenant Matt Warren and the crew from Engine 14 of the Stafford County (Virginia) Fire & Rescue Dept. tried it out and reported back with their findings.

We were provided with the Chimney Snuffer kit to try out, but unfortunately it was after winter time and no chimney fires are occurring now to field test it. Also, you cannot create a practice chimney fire, so we had to be content with performing hookup evolutions and testing the ease of operation, etc.


The Chimney Snuffer kit comes in a canvas carry-bag that has hand grips and a shoulder strap that provide easy storage and a grab-and-go ability. The kit includes a shutoff valve, 1" and 1-½" adapter connections, 25 ft. of rubber forestry hose that is resistant to embers, and a specialized broken-stream chimney nozzle.


Before we did any evolutions with the device, we checked out the ability to adapt different water supply sources to it. Since just about every home has a "green line" (garden hose), we gave that a try with the provided adapter and it was a very suitable fit, providing a low pressure and low flow alternative for the engine company. This would probably be the most-often used method of extinguishment.


We also found the 1-½" adapter to be quickly and easily deployed when a greater volume and pressure would be required. However, TFT recommends a 40-gal. per hour flow at 60 psi.


The nozzle gives out a broken, misty stream through several openings and is designed to be lowered down the chimney. According to the manufacturer, the torpedo shaped head is heavy enough to break through creosote buildup, bird nests or other common chimney obstructions and will provide a limited amount of water directly on the burning components, without creating extensive damage or thermal imbalance to crack ceramic tiles.

With the remote shutoff valve, you can delay water application until you get it positioned in the burning area of the chimney. It will be interesting to see how efficiently it performs at an actual fire. Overall, The Chimney Snuffer kit is a great idea.

This is very interesting content! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your points and have come to the conclusion that you are right about many of them. Notwithstanding the way that you are splendid and enduring, it is an un-realizable test to consider different papers of an awesome quality in a brief time of time.

I wonder if such a thing can be purchased by an ordinary citizen, it will be fun to use it for watering the territory, so to speak, a vegetable garden, okay just kidding. A very interesting post, in my opinion, but whether such a topic is suitable for writing, it will be necessary to consult https://pro-papers.com/literature-review-writing

It’s great to see The fire-store coming up with groundbreaking and innovative solutions, and these blogs truly do justice promoting the technology and educating the public at the same time. I think companies that make technical products should have their product experts collaborate with Script Writing Services to produce quality ads and other promotional content that doesn’t leave out any feature.

The Chimney Snuffer uses an ultra-fine spray to rapidly and safely put out chimney fires, considerably decreasing the risk of water damage. A single fireman can quickly break through possible blockages within the chimney with the sturdy 5 pounds (2.3 kg) nozzle head. My workplace is go step web, and we have a chimney as well. There are numerous advantages to using a fireplace, including the absence of smoke in the kitchen.
