Gathering around hearth may be broken by fire In scores of American households this winter, the snug atmosphere around the family's wood-burning stove will be broken by a thundering roar, a shaking, red-hot stove pipe and immediate danger to family and belongings. A chimney fire. It usually results from the build up of a sooty substance called creo sote inside the chimney. "When a chimney fire occurs, three actions are crucial," advised Donald Mann, fire safety engineer for Aetna Life & Casualty. "Call the fire department. Close all air inlets and dampers. And don't throw water on a hot stove. That could crack the stove and cause a second fire," Chimney fires, according to Mann, are only one of the risks of using or installing a wood-burning stove impro perly. "There are a lot of mistakes the inexperienced stove owner can make." Mann said "Like disposing of ashes in paper bags, or other combustible containers, put ting your stove on an unpro tected wood floor, using a stove pipe that's too small or cheaply constructed-those things might not cause a fire right away, but they probably will eventually. The risk is serious," According to the National Fire Data Center, heating systems burning solid fuel (wood or coal ). are associated with about 49.000 home fires each year, involving about 250 fatalities. 290 serious injuries Minimum distance of stove pipe from unprotected wall anything combustible should be at least 36 from stove Engagement V-- -a- V - ' Mortimore Campbell Mr. and Mrs. Arlet Campbell would like to announce the engagement of their daughter, Andrea Jean to Roger F.

September 12. 19R1. is the date set for the wedding and more than $110 million in direct procrty losses each year, If you have a wood-burning stove--or are thinking about buying one-it's essential to consider proper installation. Check with local building authorities before putting in your stove, even if this is not required in your town. You will probably get cost and time-saving advice on mater ials, space requirements, sup pliers and workmanship. And arrange for an inspection after your stove is installed Mann emphasized that stove owners should follow instal lation instructions to the letter. "Above all. don't try to short-cut the manufacturer's directions, don't skimp on clearances from walls and floors, and don't count on word of mouth advice from other stove owners." Covering a wall with aluminum foil, for example, does NOT make it non -combustible. ' Making the Stove Pipe a Good Connection Stove owners should follow detailed instructions, avail able from the manufacturer or retailer, to be sure that stove pipe dimensions and mater ials are adequate. Ordinarily, Mann explained, the pipe should not pass through a wall or ceiling "If you must go through a combustible wall, you'll have to allow an 18 inch clearance all around the piX'. Or, you can use a section of approved factory-built chim 18" Thimble This section should rise at least V" per linear foot Non-combustible hearth mat - c X ney. As for hooking the stove pipe to a masonry chimney, you'll need to extend the connector through the masonry wall of the chimney to the inner face of the flue liner (not beyond . and cement it to the masonry.

Mann added that it's dangerous to conned more than one heating device to a single flue. As for chimney mainten ance, remember that creosote residue accumulates on a relatively cool chimney lining and, when ignited, causes an extremely dangerous fire. To prevent creosote buildup, maintain a moderate fire- hot enough to prevent a cool flue liner, but not so hot that it Continued p. 7 Minimum distance of stove from unprotected wall 10
