24-The SUN, Flagstaff, Arizona, Sundav. August 9. 1981 of Fireplace Fires Caused by Faulty Installation BY JUDITH ACREE Sun Family Life Editor "Of 100,000 fires in the United States last year related to solid fuel stoves and fireplaces, 83 percent were caused by installation errors," said Albert J. Woodward, assistant to the president of DuraCorp. Woodward spoke to a gathering of persons representing various phases of the solid fuel industry; woodstove store owners, managers and employees, city plans inspection officials, chimney sweeps and others last week at Little America.

Installation errors Woodward cited were the placement of stoves and pipes too close to combustibles, installations which did not meet code. Often, he said, many fires are caused by running single wall pipe through windows, and the mixture of -compatible products. Occupant error represented 7 percent of fires. These occurred when residents placed drapes, plants or other flammable material too close to their unit or used flammable liquid, such as gas, to ignite their fires. Accidents represented another 5.6 percent of fires and flue fires, another 3.6 percent.

With masonry chimneys, the usual problem is the cracking of the inner tile liner, something that can happen when chimney temperatures reach above 900 degrees.

Local Television Station Planning To Move into New, Large Facility Modisett says the range and quality of the transmission will be improved if all goes as planned by the first of September, giving KNAZ a wider range of Northern Arizona viewers. A new transmitter, which will cost CBG close to a half-million dollars will take the signal from 24.5 kilowatts to 100 kilowatts. This means better reception for Flagstaff viewers as well as extending the range by a radius of 15 to 20 miles. The signal will extend east to Holbrook, west to Seligman, north to Tuba City, and south into Maricopa County. New translators are also being planned for Kingman and Page, Modisett said.

With nearly triple the space to work with in the new building, Modisett said the range of programming and commercial production will increase. "Equipment ties SO closely with everything now we don't have studios that allow us the flexibility to perform all the commercials and news we'd like formed so they in turn can educate their customers for proper safety. Three factors were emphasized for owners of solid fuel burning units self-inspection monthly, routine cleaning, and a thorough occasional cleaning by a chimney sweep or by the owner with professional tools. Woodward said that while Dura-Vent's testing of chimney cleaner products helped keep creosote and soot levels down, the products would not thoroughly clean a stove and most contain salts which eventually will evoke some damage to stoves and pipe. He recommended maintaining a flue temperature of at least 250 degrees to minimize creosote buildup.

In routine maintenance, the pipe manufacturer stressed checking a stove for cracks in cast iron, for cast iron units; check for breaks in welds of sheet steel stoves, checking door seals on airtight units and other structural defects that could impair proper functioning of the Business Scene Flagstaff Receive A number of Flagstaff employers received certificates thanking them for supporting the National Guard from a representative of the 157th Ordinance Battalion, Arizona Army National Guard.

We don't have helicopters or airplanes, but we can offer Northern Arizona news pertaining to the people who live here.

"We feel now that we're covering the news in Flagstaff pretty well, but we'd like to have better coverage of some of the outlying areas like Cottonwood, Holbrook and Prescott. "Sometime we plan to have someone covering these areas, but it takes time to develop the people and the equipment and get operational," he said. Other new programs for unit. The most common problem associated with poor functioning of an otherwise adequate unit was "the chimney not doing its job," Woodward said. Deciding particular installations can be tricky, but Woodward said one general rule of thumb to follow is to "keep a chimney short and simple" while conforming to code regulations.

Choosing the proper chimney type is also important, for different types work best for different type units. Sizing a stove to a house, neither too large nor too small. Too large a stove will cause the owners to burn too small a fire, hence increasing the likelihood of creosote buildup in the chimney. Too small a stove will cause the owner to constantly overburn, taxing the unit to its limit and reducing the life of the stove. The seminar concluded with the presentation of technical data to help participants become more knowledgeable representatives of the solid fuel industry.

"We'll have a very large studio that will allow us to do more of what we'd like. And we'll have a lot of new equipment," he said.

There is no processing of film, no guesswork.

Editing can be done right on the machine," he said. "Video has really taken over the industry and it's a relatively new innovation. Only two or three years ago there was a possibility it would be yanked off the air because it didn't meet up to broadcast standards. Now they meet or exceed standards," Modisett said. Along with the news gathering equipment are plans to expand the news department at KNAZ.
