State law, specifically 32 M.R.S.A., Chapter 33, 2313-A, requires that chimney or fireplace installers, as of January 1, 1992, provides you with this "Disclosure" prior to the installation or construction of your chimney or fireplace. The purpose of this disclosure is to inform you that the National Fire Protection Standard # 211 (NFPA # 211) is the current standard which applies to all new construction of chimneys and fireplaces.
Please note that the State of Maine does not require registration or licensure of chimney or fireplace installers. It is important to realize that many fires are caused each year from improperly constructed fireplaces and chimneys.
This disclosure form should help you in making an informed decision as to the abilities of the installer and understand what requirements the installer must comply with.
This form must accompany any building permit application for which a chimney or fireplace will be installed.
