Meet the newest addition to Chimnerds.

Sooty The Sweep!

With his signature top hat, cozy red scarf, and trusty chimney brush, he’s on a mission to keep our neighborhood's fireplaces safe, clean, and running beautifully.

Sooty loves teaching our local Safety Sidekicks how to keep their homes safe through fire prevention tips and training workshops!

Sooty won't just be hanging out in his workshop or on roofs—he’s going to be out and about in the community! We are getting ready to launch our "Spot the Nerd" challenges very soon.

Another word on the street is that Sooty might be leaving some special, shiny peacoat buttons hidden around town. If your little ones manage to spot one, it might just win them and you an awesome prize! Stay tuned for the official kickoff rules.
