Always seek expert advice before reactivating and using an open fire.

Ensure there is proper ventilation in the room

• Have the chimney swept regularly whatever fuel you use, to prevent the build up of soot or ash.

• Never leave an open fire unattended without a fireguard.

• Keep hair and clothes away from flames.

• Always use a securely fitted fireguard whenever children/animals are at home.

Tips for enjoying your open fire
 

• Light the fire with matches, firelighters, paper and kindling.

• Build the fire gradually and don’t over load it.  Leave air pockets in the pyramid.

• Empty and check the ash can every day.  A build up of ash reduces the ventilation under the fire and makes it less effective.

• Do not throw household rubbish on an open fire.

• Keep fuel to hand in a scuttle or basket, but not too close to the flames.
