Accumulations of leaves, twigs and trash on the lawn are good candidates for acci dental burning, say specialists cultural Extension Service. Clean out accumulations·of trash in the garage, basement or spare rooms and make sure you have covered containers in these areas to serve as Store paints, paint thinners and solvents in a safe place, such as a garage, workshop or basement. Keep them closed in their original containers, awav from fire sources. Installation Is Key To Safe Wood Heater If you are among those who are becoming interested in wood-burning stoves and heat era, you should be aware of the fire risks involved and how to keep them to minimum The key is proper installation. Most building fires associ ated with wood beating are due to unsafe installation. Vir tually all danger can be elimi nated by complying with safe ty standards and building codes, suggest Agricultural Extension Service housing specialists at North Carolina State University. When fires occur, they are usually started by one of five situations: 1. radiation from the stove, 2. sparks and glow ing coals getting out of the stove; 3. flames leaking out of faulty chimneys; 4. conduct ion of heat from chimneys into combustible materials; and 5. burning or glowing materials coming from the top of the chimney. There also is a small danger of chimney flow reversal. "ITie National Fire Protection Ass ociation has wmB up wiUi installation standards that should help to prevent these hazards. They include recom mended clearances between various hot surface· and com bustible materials, safe ways for stôve'pipe to pass through wall, and safety aspects of chimney design. Clearances between stoves and unprotected surfaces are very critical for a safe install ation. Radiant stoves-those that do not have a metal jacket surrounding the fire box-must have at least 36 inches between them and an unprotected wall. Circulating stoves may have only 2 inches of clearance between them and the unpro tected wall. Several materials such as shêetmetal or asbestos mill board may be used to protect the combustible wall from the heat of the wood stove. When this is done, the asbestos or sheetmetal should be spaced about an inch from the com bustible wall. This allows air tô circulate between the wall and the wall protection device. Smoke detectors are requir ed in all new homes builLin North Carolina. Howeve^ if you are putting a wood burn ing appliance in your home, be "iirf tn rhetT with your insur ance company to determine whether ouot your home will be fully covered in case of fire. mm Subscribe to the Charlotte Poet!
