Ashes Can Cause
A Forest Fire
The use of wood burning stoves
and fireplace inserts is on the
increase, and so is the number of
forest fires caused by ashes
removed from stoves and
fireplaces, according to North
Carolina Division of Forest
Resources. The light powdery
ash left from a wood fire can
insulate hot coals and glowing
embers hiding them from view. It
is not unusual for these coals to
smolder for several days before
they are totally consumed.

stove or fireplace should be put in
a metal bucket and placed
outside away from buildings. The
bucket should be secured or
anchored so it will not be tipped
over by people, animals or the
wind. Some people prefer to store
the ashes in a larger metal barrel
for later use in a compost pile or
in a garden. The bucket or barrel
should be covered, however, to
cut off the oxygen and prevent
the ashes from being blown
away. Any ashes removed from a
wood stove or fireplace should be
allowed to sit outside in a covered
container for several days before
being added to a compost pile or
spread on a garden.
The Division of Forest Re
sources urges people to treat ash
from wood stoves and fireplaces
the same way good campers treat
a campfire. Pour water on the
ash, stir, and add more water.
