Very sad. Same goes for lots of French alpine chalets. Three magnificent old chalets - almost entirely wooden - burnt down in Boudin, near Beaufort, in 2010.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Anything will burn well if you apply enough hot air.

Should have installed a residental sprinkler system. Cost is about the same as putting carpet throughout (not that you’d carpet an alpine home hopefully) or installing a central heating system.

The building in Mittersill that burned was the Local Brothel.

and chimneys get v hot. My brother in law is a chimney specialist and used to fret at the chimney from the woodburner in the local (converted old wooden barn) restaurant in Les Saisies. Said it would be totally illegal in terms of UK building regs. And no doubt French ones, too. When the restaurant changed hands it was all changed to a much more satisfactory arrangement - probably a condition of their mortgage.

Which may be why the sweep has to check them every three months here, a legal requirement, I believe. Annoys me a bit, especially as I haven't used my stove in the last two winters but probably it is sensible.
