Lewisville winters and your chimney
Lewisville averages 29 nights a year at or below freezing and a December to February average of 48.3°F (NOAA normals, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport). A chimney used only on cold nights still needs the yearly check: the NFPA says to have chimneys cleaned and inspected every year, and CSIA says creosote that builds up enough can catch fire when the flue gets hot enough.

Local rules and resources in Lewisville
The Lewisville Fire Department's public education page carries winter fire safety tips it credits to the National Fire Protection Association: have a qualified professional clean and inspect your chimney and vents every year, keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet from any heat source such as a fireplace or wood stove, and store cooled ashes in a tightly covered metal container kept outside at least 10 feet from your home and any nearby buildings. The same page's carbon monoxide section, credited to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lists burning charcoal and wood among the sources of carbon monoxide and says to keep vents and flues free of debris, because debris can block ventilation lines.
Lewisville's Fire Marshal's Office says the city has adopted the 2021 edition of the International Fire Code with local amendments. The city's Permits and Inspections page lists the 2021 International Residential Code and the 2021 International Mechanical Code among its adopted codes and says a building permit is required for all new construction, remodeling, changes or additions to structures, including electrical or mechanical work; that list does not name fireplaces or chimneys, and the page gives Building Services' phone number as 972.219.3470.
When emergency operations and staffing allow, Lewisville firefighters may help residents install or replace smoke detectors, and the department gives priority to older adults, residents with disabilities and people who cannot safely use a ladder. The department says availability may be limited and suggests that residents who can do the work themselves, or who do not meet those criteria, first contact the American Red Cross.
