When The
Weather Outside Is Frightful, Keep Fires Delightful and Safe:
Dropping temperatures across the country this time of year
typically prompt a rise in the use of alternative heat sources
such as fireplaces, wood or coal-burning stoves and space
heaters to stay warm, and unfortunately can result in an
increase in the number of home fire incidents.
