Hi, I am Patsieann Misiti with the Alexandria Fire Department in Alexandria, Virginia. We have been talking today about home heating safety. Now, we are going to talk a little bit about fireplace safety. Here are a few things to remember. First, only burnt, seasoned, treated hardwood and always make sure to open your flue before you start a fire. Never burn any paper or trash because this type of materials could increase the risk of the fire going uncontrollable. Always make sure to close your fireplace screen and keep children, pets and anything else away from the fireplace that you don t want to burn. Once a year, be sure to call an expert and have your fireplace inspected.
Next, we are going to talk about portable space heaters.
