25.01.2022 Gday everyone, its that time of year again. Make sure you get your flue cleaned prior to lighting your first fire of the year, or if you have had a fire and it doesnt seem to be burning as usual, there could be a build up of soot or a blockage. And always remember not to put hot ashed in your bin until they have sat for at least a week.... https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2232138486867818&id=100002150658388

25.01.2022 If youre off to the shack this weekend it will be tempting to get the wood heater or open fireplace going. Chimneys and flues that have not been properly main...tained can catch fire, and these types of fires have already destroyed homes in Tasmania this year. These things can help reduce the risks associated with fireplaces and wood heaters: Have your chimney/flue professionally cleaned annually. Only burn wood that has been properly seasoned/dried, so it burns hotter and produces less smoke. Place a fire screen in front of fireplaces. Put logs in lengthways so they cant roll out. Keep anything flammable, including your woodpile, at least two metres from the fireplace. And most importantly, have smoke alarms installed in every sleeping area - that includes your shack, boat and caravan.

07.01.2022 A house fire in Glenorchy last night was caused by a clothes dryer, destroying a garage, and $100,000 damage. Some tips for safe clothes dryer use: clean the ...lint filter after each use - lint is highly flammable and is the cause of many dryer-related fires. make sure your dryer is well ventilated. always run the dryer to the end of the cool down cycle - fires have been caused when the dryer has been stopped before the end of the cycle, causing the items to keep heating up and combusting while they are in a pile.
