National Fire Safety Week 2026

The holiday season is fast approaching, and the question becomes… "What am I going to do with the Christmas tree and all this wrapping paper and cardboard???"

The logical thing to do is recycle it, but that doesn’t always happen. Many times, the waste from the holidays, or even after the holidays ends up in the fireplace.

Burning trash in a fireplace creates a lot of smoke which can damage the environment. It also sends poisonous chemicals into the atmosphere, and possibly the home. These chemicals could be benzene, or dioxins depending on what is being burnt, which are toxic.

The other thing that can happen is when the garbage is burnt, it burns very hot and fast. This high heat occurrence could cause thermal shock to the flue, breaking the tiles, as well as damaging the appliance.

At the end of the day, the waste belongs in the trash, or recycling bin so make sure it gets there.

Chimney Safety Week 2026 : Tip #1 Schedule Your Sweep & Inspection Early *Today we are sharing a tip from the CSIA back in 2023 on the importance of scheduling your annual chimney maintenance.

As the weather changes and the temperatures drop you start to get the urge for that 1st fire of the season.

Before doing so, it is important to schedule a sweep and inspection from a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep®. They will determine if the fireplace or wood-burning appliances and chimney are suitable for continued use, or if there are repairs that need to be made.

This is very important to do before the burning season begins to protect you from any unexpected hazards that may have occurred in the prior year. If you wait too long to call they may already have a full schedule and might not be able to get you in unless there is a cancellation.

The best time to get on the schedule for your annual inspection next year is when they are done this year.

It's National Chimney Safety Week! We will be sharing tips all week long. First up is a great Fall Checklist from the CSIA.

Fall is a great time for homeowners to think about fireplace and chimney safety before cooler weather settles in.

Before using your fireplace regularly, schedule a chimney inspection with a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep, check for visible masonry damage, make sure the chimney cap is in place and keep the fireplace area clear.

A little preparation now can help support a safer season ahead.

Great information from City of Hays Police and Fire on the importance of Dryer Vent Cleaning and Maintenance!

Why is regular dryer vent cleaning important?
1. Fire Prevention
Lint is highly flammable, and a clogged dryer vent can become a significant fire hazard. Routine cleaning removes accumulated lint and debris, greatly reducing the risk of a dryer-related house fire.
2. Improved Energy Efficiency
A clean dryer vent allows for proper airflow, helping your dryer operate more efficiently. This results in shorter drying cycles, lower energy consumption, and reduced utility costs.
3. Extended Appliance Life
When airflow is restricted, your dryer must work harder to do its job. Regular vent cleaning reduces strain on the appliance, helping to extend its lifespan and minimize the likelihood of costly repairs.
Regular dryer vent maintenance is a simple investment that enhances safety, improves performance, and helps protect both your home and your appliance.

When was the last time you checked your dryer vent pipe? 🧺🔥

Across our region, emergency responders have seen a recent uptick in dryer-related home fires. The photo above shows the exterior of a flexible vent hose—but inside is a critical area that often gets overlooked during routine cleaning.

Nationwide, the numbers from FEMA and the National Park Service are alarming:
📊 15,500 dryer fires occur annually across the U.S.
🚑 Causing an average of 10 to 15 deaths and over 300 injuries each year.
💰 Resulting in tens of millions of dollars in property damage.

The leading factor in these fires is failure to clean and maintain the venting system. When exterior vent tubes get crushed behind the machine, kinked, or clogged with lint, heat cannot escape safely and can spark a fire in seconds.

Quick safety checks for your household:
🔍 Inspect the outside of the tube: Ensure your flexible duct line isn't crushed against the wall, cracked, or kinked.
🧼 Clean the lint filter: Empty it before or after every single load.
💨 Clear the ductwork: Vacuum out the exhaust line and check that your outdoor vent hood flap opens freely while the dryer runs.

A 5-minute check can save your home. Share this reminder with friends and family in the area!
