Anyone who needs to clean out their chimney, the Harrison Fire Department has  flue brushes in several sizes and rods available at no cost, to be checked  out. What you need to know is the size of the opening of your flue at the roof top and approximately how many feet of rod you will need to clean it out. Come to the Fire Station located 120 South Spring Street and we will check them out to you. This program originally started in the 70's with a grant from North Arkansas College. We were having several flue fires per week during the winter. Now we have just a few flue fires per year because of this fire prevention program.
