Fireplaces & wood stoves

Have the chimney checked before the first fire of the season.

  • Get chimneys and wood stoves inspected and cleaned every year.
  • Use a sturdy screen to keep sparks in.
  • Burn only dry, seasoned wood, never trash or wrapping paper.
  • Put cooled ashes in a metal can with a lid, outside, at least 10 feet from the house.
  • Make sure the fire is out before going to bed.

In an emergency, always call 911.
