Well sort, of but not a chimney fire per-se. Two people I know have had house fires at one time or anothe due to wood or materials around the roof/attic hole combusting just from being in close proximity to the chimney. My questions are whether regular visual inspections would reveal such a potential issue. Obviously if I saw charred wood that would not be good, but if it looks normal then can you tell whether something is wrong. Second, I don't know if they had single or double wall pipe going through the attic/roof. I have a metalbestos segment in that area, is such an issue still a potential concern with metalbestos?
It is scary to think about such a scenario because by the time you know there is a fire up there it may very well be too late to do much about it other than call the fire department.
