A chimney fire detector has a pair of entwined conductors mounted at the outlet of the chimney. A sensing device can detect electrical contact between these conductors. An insulating spacer is mounted between these conductors for separating them. This spacer is formed of material which allows the conductors to pass through the material and touch in response to temperatures in excess of a predetermined magnitude. This predetermined magnitude corresponds to the temperature at the outlet of the chimney during a chimney fire.
