Fireplace Safety tips to avoid mishap
Chimney: Have a professional clean and inspect your chimney annually.
Flue: Make sure the air inlets are open before starting a fire
Screen: Use a safety screen to prevent embers from popping out.
Starter: Start your fire with dry kindling or organic starter. Never use kerosene or gasoline to light the fireplace.
Wood: Use dry and seasoned wood only. Wet wood causes more smoke and soot build up in the chimney.
Children: Talk about fire hazards with children. Never leave them unattended around a lit fire.
