We are starting to feel that chill in the air and people are starting to turn to their wood stoves and fireplaces for comfort. Please make sure that prior to the start of every heating season you have your chimney inspected by a professional for proper installation, new cracks, blockages, leaks, or creosote build up which are the main causes of chimney fires.
If you use space heaters, make sure they are in good working order. Check the cords for cracks or fraying and make sure to keep it at least three feet away from furniture, walls, curtains, or anything else that burns. And don't forget to turn off space heaters when you leave home or go to bed.
