A Winter Safety Reminder... 🪵🔥
Hi everyone, Bill Snowdon with Snowdon Realty here! As your local real estate expert, I'm with an important PSA for our community: As temperatures drop, we don't want your safety risks to rise. 📉🔥
With heating fuel prices so high right now, dusting off a wood stove or fireplace is a great way to warm your home the way our ancestors did. But if it’s been sitting unused for years, please take a pause before striking that match.
While wood is a great alternative to expensive propane or oil, a chimney fire can cost far more than money—it can cost irreplaceable memories and your family's safety.
Here’s your quick hearth checklist:
🧹 Inspect & Clean: Always have a pro inspect and sweep your chimney before the first use.
🪵 Know Your Wood: Learn proper draft control and stick to seasoned firewood—avoid unseasoned wood that causes dangerous creosote build-up.
🪵 Use Creosote Logs: Burn a creosote-sweeping log periodically throughout the winter based on the package instructions.
We’re all in this together. Keep your family warm, and above all else, keep them safe!
