Fireplace Safety at Christmas: Have a safe + warm holiday!

To keep your home safe during Christmas🎄🎅 always use your fireplace🔥 responsibly follow these simple rules:


✔️ Before lighting a fire, make sure the chimney is clean and clear of debris (Call Cunningham Air Duct + Chimney for a FREE chimney cleaning estimate: 631-665-6400)
✔️ Keep decorations, stockings, wrapping paper, and the Christmas tree at least three feet away from the fireplace
✔️ Never burn wrapping paper, cardboard, or trash, as these can cause sparks and dangerous flare-ups. Burn only dry, seasoned wood

✔️ Use a sturdy screen or glass doors to prevent sparks from escaping
✔️ Never leave a fire unattended
✔️ Make sure the fire is completely out before going to bed or leaving the house
✔️ Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children
✔️ Remind everyone to stay a safe distance from the fire
✔️ Keep the damper open during use

✔️ Finally, have a working smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher🧯 nearby to ensure a safe and joyful holiday
