  The group recommends that all active users of fireplaces or wood stoves have their chimneys inspected by a professional once a year, according to Greg Williamson, executive director.
  
  "A by-product of burning wood is creosote," Williamson explained."It will collect on the inside of the chimney.Creosote itself is a combustible material."
  
  "So, Christmas morning, you are unwrapping presents and people don't want to take time to bag up the paper.So, they throw it in the fireplace.They can get a flash fire, that is really hot and really quick," he added.
  ...
  "If the chimney is obstructed or malfunctioning, you can have a problem with carbon monoxide," Williamson said.
  
  Bricks and mortar can crumble and block the chimney, he said.Or birds, squirrels and other animals may pack them with nesting materials, or even themselves, he added.
  
  Chimneys attached to gas hot water heaters or clothes dryers also should be checked, Williamson said.
  
  Modern chimney sweeps are not Dickensonian characters with smudgy faces.While they may still have the smudges, sweeps certified by the CSIA go through professional training and annual seminars, he said.
  
  In addition to the traditional brushes, many have the latest video scanning equipment.
  
  "He can scan the inside of a chimney to look for obstructions or defects," Williamson said."He will sweep it with brushes.He will have laid down tarps.He will have an industrial vacuum to control dust and soot.
  
  "He can go up on the roof and clean from the top down, depending on the construction of the buildings.Or he may work from the bottom up."

  Its members are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America, says Greg Williamson, executive director of both organizations, which are based in Indianapolis.Homeowners can call 1-800-536-0118 or visit the group's Web site, www.csia.org, to find a certified sweep.
  
  Williamson said most sweeps also clean out dryer vents.There are as many dryer exhaust fires as chimney fires, he said.Symptoms of a clogged dryer duct include incomplete drying of clothes and very hot dryer temperatures.He also suggests homeowners think about hiring a sweep when they be not using their fireplace.Most do not think about fire prevention until the fall, when they are getting ready to throw a few logs onto the grate.But that be the busiest time for most sweeps.
  
  Fire prevention, however, had been on the Goodes' minds all summer as they updated their appliances and fireplace.
