Cozy Fire

If you want to feel cozy, nothing beats curling up in front of a fireplace or a wood-burning stove when temperatures outside drop. But as comforting as a warm fire makes us feel, there are some risks. Luckily, it only takes a few simple precautions to protect your family and home so that you can rest easy.

Here are wood stove and fireplace safety tips:
Have a professional inspect your fire place every year.
Make sure your wood stove or fire place is the right size for the room it is in.
Supervise small children or pets around the fire place. Consider installing a barrier to keep them from it.
Install fire and smoke detectors in your home.
Keep a multipurpose fire extinguisher on hand.
