Ouch...I've been lucky, knock on wood. Squirrels are great sales aids - nothing like a dead, stinkin squirrel to promp a quick call to the chimney sweep. A cleaning and a stainless steel cap sale to prevent further occurances is practically guaranteed.

i suspect that a dead squirrel is easier to get out via the damper than a live one would be.

for what it's worth, to get the live one out i dropped a 20' length of 1" rope down the chimney. he scrambled up the rope and out.

then i put wire mesh around the cap vents that were obviously squirrel size.
