Repair cracks or other defects and
replace rusted and burned-out stove
and furnace pipes. f
Make sure that combustible ma
terials are protected. Use a metal
or asbestos floor covering under wood
or coal-burning- stoves. Use double
metal-ventilated thimbles where stove
pipes pass through walls.
Never use petroleum products to
.start or hasten a fire. j

ers, and other types of heating equip

' and furnaces are never closed enough
to force carbon monoxide or other
out gases into the room.
