The nights are starting to get a bit chilly, and you will want to fire up your wood stove in the evenings. Please make sure your chimney has been cleaned from your last spring fires and most importantly make sure your spark screen on the chimney has no holes for embers to escape. We are still in EXTREME and any sparks from your indoor wood stove could land on nearby dried grass or fallen leaves and ignite a brush fire.
Don’t burn paper, cardboard or garbage in your wood stove.
If you have an alternate method of heating your house (e.g. electric)) please consider using that while we wait out this dry spell.
Thanks for keeping all of us fire safe.
