FIRE PACE SAFETY

Here are some crucial items necessary for fire safety:

  • Check the damper, vents and chimney regularly to ensure proper operation.

  • Keep combustible materials at least three feet away from the fireplace.

  • Avoid combustible decorations on the mantle.

  • Keep children away from openings.

  • Never use excessive amounts of paper to build a roaring fire.

  • Never burn plastic, charcoal or styrofoam products in the fireplace.
    They produce toxic gases!

  • Never close the damper with hot ashes in the fireplace.

  • Be sure the fire is out before retiring for the evening.

  • Consult your local fire department for further questions or information.
