CHIMNEY FIRES S.S.

FIREFIGHTER?S RESPONDED TO SEVERAL CHIMNEY FIRES OVER THE WEEKEND, AND IN ONE CASE THE FIRE CAUSED ABOUT 20 THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE. THEY SAY THAT?S NOT UNUSUAL AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, AS PEOPLE LIGHT FIRES IN THEIR FIREPLACES (WITHOUT CLEANING OUT LAST YEAR?S RESIDUE FIRST).
FIREFIGHTERS RECOMMEND THAT PEOPLE GET THEIR CHIMNEY?S CLEANED, AND INSPECTED, EVERY YEAR.
