A chimney fire burns creosote inside the flue at very high heat. It can crack the liner, scorch framing around the chimney and blow soot into the living area and attic.

Can I use the fireplace after a chimney fire?
Not until a chimney professional has inspected the flue and liner. Cracks you can't see can let heat reach the framing next time.
Why is there soot upstairs after a chimney fire?
The draft and heat push smoke into the attic and upper rooms through gaps around the chimney chase.
