Clean chimneys don't catch fire. Make sure a GMS Certified Chimney Sweep inspects your solid fuel appliance, and cleans the chimney and recommends repairs whenever needed.
Your sweep may have other maintenance recommendations depending on how you use your fireplace or appliance.
GMS recommends that you call a certified guild sweep, since they have passed their assessment and their understanding of the complexities of chimney and venting systems is vast. Find a Sweep HERE
