An undesirable result has been a corresponding increase in the number of wood stove and chimney fires. In fact, over one-half of the one-and two-family dwelling fires in rural and suburban areas are caused by wood fuel use.
Burning wood requires more work and attention than simply adjusting a thermostat. To reduce the chances of having a fire in your home, follow the recommendations in the Woodstove Safety pamphlet below on proper selection, installation, maintenance and operation of a wood stove.
