Fire Place Related Fires – Sthld Otago

Toastie warm or sweating about it 🥵? We’ve had 3 fireplace related fires this week – Yikes! 😳

🔥 Wood next to fireplace caught fire
🔥 Home filled with smoke because of chimney fire
🔥 Home filled with smoke because a log was jammed in the fireplace

🏠 Keep a clear area at least 1m around the fireplace
🏡 Have your chimney cleaned before you use it each season and burn only dry wood
🏘 Only put wood in your fire that fits
