According to State Fire CommiSr sioner David Smith, space heaters should have at least a thref-foot clearance at aD rimes, and homeowners should select heaters have guards to reduce the likelihood of direct contact with people and combustible objects.

As a general rule, never'place more than three or four fulf-sized logs in your fireplace or wood-burning stove. Never use a stove or fireplace as an incinerator to burn; large amounts of paper or boxes.

At the start of cold weather, have chimneys 'inspected and thoroughly cleaned by a professional Be sure to use a good fire- screen in front of the fireplace. Keep the damper adjusted properly for adequate ventilation of smoke and gases. Keep the area around the the fireplace free of combustible materials. Cathode Charities naknes first female director.
