Fire Place And Home Fire Safety:
More than one-third of Americans use fireplaces, wood stoves and other fuel-fired appliances as primary heat sources in their homes. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the fire risks when heating with wood and solid fuels. Heating fires account for 36% of residential home fires in rural areas every year. Often these fires are due to creosote buildup in chimneys and stovepipes. All home heating systems require regular maintenance to function safely and efficiently.
The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) encourages you to practice fire safety steps to keep fires safely burning. Remember, fire safety is your personal responsibility “Fire Stops with You!” Click on the link below for fireplace and home fire safety tips.
