Sorry for the personal army request, but why is there no mention of creosote and resulting chimney fires? The prevention of these would be one of the most important purposes of a chimney sweep IMO.

Can someone confirm this story about the scrotum cancer? It looks so insolit it would be useful to add a reference. 193.51.45.44 15:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
