Fireplace Safety
Do you enjoy a lighted fireplace during the colder months?
Before you fire up those logs, here are some safety tips to keep in mind:
* Prevent chimney fires through regular cleaning by a professional chimney sweep.
* Keep flammables away from the front of the fireplace.
* Supervise children whenever a fire is lit.
* Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean up the ashes since some embers may still be live.
