“Danger in the Fireplace” is a warning about the potential dangers of using a fireplace. If not maintained properly, fireplaces can cause house fires or release harmful gases, such as carbon monoxide. It’s important to have a professional inspect and clean the fireplace and chimney regularly to ensure safe operation.

• Burn only recommended fuels.
• Don’t use liquid lighter of any kind.
• Do not burn household garbage or trash Use only one pressed log at a time and don’t mix them with other fuels.

• Placing your grate closer than five inches to glass doors may overheat and crack them. Before starting a fire always be sure the flue damper is open.
• Use a spark screen or glass door to prevent sparks from popping onto the floor or carpet. Keep afire extinguisher close by at all times. Do not leave children unattended around fire. Always leave dampers open until the fire is completely out. Smoldering coals produce highly poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
