Fireplace Safety
Curling up in front of a warm fireplace is one of the many joys of the fall and winter seasons. Every type of fireplace, whether wood-burning, gas, or electric, poses a potential danger to children.
Use these tips to keep your family safe from fireplace dangers:
*If possible, keep a window cracked open while the fire is burning.
*Be certain the damper or flue is open before starting a fire. Keeping the damper or flue open until the fire is out will draw smoke out of the house.
