Fireplace Tips and Tricks

Make sure your fireplace is safe.

Knowing the ins and outs of your fireplace can help in a quick pinch.  Here are some tips to keep your fireplace safe for you and your property. 

1. Making sure your chimney is cleaned before the season will help greatly.  Soot residue can start hidden fires that can fester in your chimney.  
2. Using a fireplace screen will help prevent burnt logs from rolling out of your fireplace that can quickly start fires and burn carpet.  
3. Don’t use any other wood except for wood specifically for fires.  Using painted wood or treated lumber can let in toxic fumes that can be harmful to you and your family.  
4. It’s best to have a class c extinguisher on hand in case of any fire emergencies.
