Chimney Safety Institute of America

http://www.csia.org/

"The Chimney Safety Institute of America is a non-profit
educational foundation ... with [a] commitment to chimney and
venting system safety and to the elimination of residential
chimney fires, carbon monoxide intrusion, and other
chimney-related safety hazards. CSIA devotes its resources to
educating the public ... about the prevention and correction of
chimney venting system hazards." - from the website

The site provides safety material on topics such as the causes of
chimney fires, how to prevent them and what to do during a
chimney fire, a "basic anatomy" lesson on fireplaces, the
principles of fireplace operation with troubleshooting tips, how
to select the right type of firewood, proper venting of gas
fireplaces, information on gas logs, the dangers of carbon
monoxide, preventing water damage to chimneys, the facts about
chimney liners and even the correct venting of household dryers.
In addition,
there's an FAQ, and a search facility to locate a certified
chimney sweep (U.S. only). A selection of relevant links is also
included.
