With the increase in winter fires, it is essential to pay attention to fire prevention. It is advisable to have fireplaces and stoves installed by qualified personnel and to adhere to local safety regulations. Additionally, cleaning and inspecting chimneys at least once a year can prevent dangerous blockages. Keeping ventilation openings clear and avoiding the use of unsuitable flammable materials are other key measures to ensure home safety.
