Own a Wood-Burning Fireplace? Call Us for Maintenance
Venting wood fires produces creosote, a toxic and highly combustible residue which collects inside your chimney and must be swept out to help avoid a damaging chimney flue fire. Chimney fires cost hundreds of millions dollars in losses from burned homes, not to mention loss of life.
Stay Safer With These Tips
The United States Fire Administration (USFA) offers these suggestions for maintaining a safer household:
- Have your fireplace inspected and cleaned annually by a certified chimney sweep.
- Clear the area around the hearth of debris, decorations, and flammable liquids.
- Leave glass doors open and fire screens closed.
- Never use flammable liquids to start a fire.
- Use a metal container to hold ashes and move them at least 30 feet away from your house to cool for a few days.
- Use only seasoned hardwood.
- Never leave a burning fireplace unattended.
