Home and electrical fires are a year around occurrence, but during the fall and winter, deadly fires are much more common. Fireplace use, holiday lights and overloading outlets seem to increase this time of the year. With colder St Louis temperatures, more and more people are using their fireplaces, space heaters and soon; will be setting up Christmas tree lights. Be safe and make sure you don’t use a damaged fireplace if you notice missing chimney bricks, crumbling mortar, or a missing or damaged flue liner, please call us first. Stay safe and warm.
