A. Fireplace Safety

Most problems are caused by improper installation and op-

eration of the fireplace. To provide reasonable fire safety, 

the following should be given serious consideration:
•  The fire should be supervised whenever the fireplace is 

in use. 

•  An  annual  inspection  should  be  performed  on  the 

fireplace system.

•  Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your 

home to ensure your safety.  

•  Install a conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher 

near the fireplace.

•  Devise a practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least 

two escape routes.

•  Devise a plan to deal with a chimney fire:

-  Evacuate.

-  Notify the fire department.
