Take safety steps when warming home with alternative sources
With the temperature dropping in the winter, if you use alternative heating sources to warm your home make sure you are taking steps to use them safely.
Radcliff Deputy Fire Marshal Tommy Crane says you should get fireplaces or stove pipes cleaned and inspected regularly.
“A lot of times what happens when we go on fire runs involving chimneys and wood burning stoves is there is a lot of radiant heat, so over time something has happened and it’s actually started to heat the things around the stove pipe or around the chimney itself, so check for things like that,” Crane said.
Make sure you are using seasoned wood for fuel, not green wood or trash, and properly dispose of the remnants.
“Make sure when you’re done with the ashes, you let them cool before you try to dispose of them,” Crane said. “Place them in a metal container, preferably at least 10 feet away from your home and other nearby buildings.”
If you use a kerosene heater, make sure you are only using clear K-1 kerosene.
“Make sure that you’re using the kerosene heater in a well-ventilated room,” Crane said. “You may even need to crack a window. I know that sounds a little counterintuitive because you’re trying to heat, but you want to make sure that you have a good air exchange.”
If you use any alternative heating sources in your home, make sure your carbon monoxide detector is up to date and properly functioning.
