Fireplace safety Pare 2 (Part
1)
Aside
from keeping a fireplace screen in place constantly, there are a few other notes
that any fireplace owner should understand and take to heart:
Perform
regular maintenance. Regular and consistent maintenance on
your fireplace is crucial to keeping it in tip top shape. Have
your fireplace inspected and professionally cleaned once a year. This
will ensure that the number of fire hazards you have are minimized and can keep
smoke ventilation healthy and sustained, properly propelled outside of the
house.
Clean
the fireplace instruments regularly. Make sure that you clear
out old ash from your fireplace as your instruments are used regularly to move
logs and other tasks. Doing this will help your fireplace
stay in good condition as well as help your house stay cleaner.
Keep
your fireplace accessories near your fire at all times, especially when in use.
However, if you have small children or pets that may knock them down or
cause injury to themselves, you may consider storing them away while the
fireplace is not in use.
While
your fireplace may bring great joy, warmth, a friendly glow, and an inviting
ambiance, owning one comes with responsibilities, including safe keeping
practices, regular professional maintenance, and having a fireplace screen
installed at all times.
