• Do not burn paper in your fireplace
• Before you go to sleep or leave your home, put the fire out completely
• Put ashes in a metal container with a lid. Store the container outside at least 3 feet from your home.

If you are using a wood stove:

• Have your chimney inspected and cleaned each year by a professional

• Do not burn paper in your wood stove
