Home fire safety
« on: November 24, 2013, 07:59:04 pm »
Well it seems the past few days since the temps have dropped people have been burning the wood stoves, fire places a lot . Unfortunately a few of them FORGOT basic safety issues while doing it !!!! PLEASE REMEMBER to check/ clean your chimneys PRIOR to firing up these items, to avoid a VERY COSTLY/ POSSIBLY DEADLY  ISSUE. A carbon monoxide detector and a good smoke detector are invaluable, if anyone has any questions on these PLEASE ASK, I will offer the best advise that I can to you :)) also once you have burnt the logs please place the the ash in a METAL CONTAINER THAT HAS A LID FAR AWAY from any COMBUSTABLE MATERIALS !!!!!  CARDBOARD BOXES ARE NOT SUITABLE TO STORE ASH IN !!!!!! Believe it or not I have seen it done :((((((

have you seen the aerosol style fire extinguishers, looks like a big can of hair spray. what are the safeness of these for small fires?
build it, beat it, break it, fix it, repeat

Well, I will say this much for those type of extinguishers Hillbilly ,I have never seen one used so not sure how well they work. Personally I recommend a dry chem ABC extinguisher for everyday use because they are a proven source for putting out most common fires , most people but the 2.5 pound models
