I remember my dad doing that.

I used to watch him making up the fire, first of all he would rake over the old coals and ash, then he'd use the hoover to suck up surplus ash.
One day, I thought I'd be a big help ( I was only about 7 or 8) .. and I attempted to hoover out the old ash - - only I'd switched the hoover onto 'blow' instead of suction mode ---
OMG ! pandemonium ! there was a fine layer of ash all over the living room !!
