🔥 Cozy nights by the fireplace are one of fall’s best comforts, but safety must always come first! Keep your family and home protected with these smart fireplace tips from DRYmedic Restoration Services Trussville:
🧹 Have your chimney and fireplace professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year to prevent hazardous creosote buildup.
🪵 Burn only seasoned hardwoods (dried 6+ months) for a cleaner, safer fire and less smoke.
🛑 Always extinguish the fire before you go to bed or leave the house; never leave flames unattended.
🚪 Keep flammable materials, furniture, and décor at least 3 feet away from the fireplace.
🛡️ Use a sturdy screen to prevent sparks from escaping and keep children and pets safe.
🔔 Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly to make sure they’re working right.
♻️ Dispose of ashes safely in a metal container, away from your home, and never in combustible bins.
