As Temperatures Begin to Dip It’s Important to Keep Fire Safety Top of Mind! • • • •
Have all fuel-burning appliances inspected annually by a registered fuel contractor. Visit COSafety.ca to find a contractor. Keep chimneys and intake/exhaust vents for furnaces and heating appliances free of debris, ice and snow accumulations to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) build-up from inefficient combustion. Burn dry, well-seasoned wood in fireplaces and wood stoves to reduce the risk of excessive creosote build-up in chimneys. Allow ashes from your fireplace or wood stove to cool before emptying them into a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. Keep the container outside.
