But before nestling inside on a crisp night, fire officials give their answer to the burning question of when to begin fireplace inspection and maintenance: Do it now.
Every year, chimney fires cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to homes nationwide. Fire officials say the best way to reduce the fire and carbon monoxide risk is to have chimneys inspected each year.
Ive learned as a homeowner with an old fireplace, it is essential to have your fireplace checked and cleaned regularly; as can be a fire hazard/danger otherwise; be safe than sorry.
Thank you to the Goodrich family for bringing awareness and safety to our community.
