🥶🥶🥶Fire Safety Reminder 🥶 🔥🏠

We know when it’s COLD, fireplaces and chimneys get more use—and that’s when preventable fires often happen.

A few key reminders:
• Use only an appropriate amount of wood and never overfill your fireplace
• Never use gasoline or kerosene to start a fire
• Dispose of ashes only after they are completely cool
• Always place ashes in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid
• Keep ash containers at least 10 feet away from structures
• Never use plastic bags, cardboard boxes, or compost piles for ash disposal

Stay safe and help protect your family, neighbors, and community.

Everyday appliances you wouldn’t expect can be major fire hazards in the home. This article explains what to look for and how to stay safe.

Unknown fire hazards in your home Most people know that stoves, ovens, and candles are dangerous and can start fires. But there are other fire risks in your home that you might not have thought about.
