Suppose dowsing the fire in the hearth with sand may be better by cutting off the oxygen supply.
Don't shoot the messenger guys ! lol
No, simply putting sand onto the fire will not starve a chimney fire of oxygen, small amounts of water as you say will create steam thus starving the chimney fire and putting the hearth fire out. I say if you have one use a garden sprayer.You may click thanks if you found my advice useful0
