fire in house Dover, Winfield, Malvern, and surrounding area residents should be cautious when it comes to leaving their home while the wood burner is in use.

Running a wood burner through the cold months is one of the coziest, classic feelings of all time. However, Dover, Winfield, Malvern, and surrounding area residents should be cautious when it comes to leaving their home while the wood burner is in use. According to ready.gov, a home can be completely engulfed in fire within only five minutes. It is also said that to prevent any chimney or wood stove fires, you should only burn well-seasoned wood. The wood should be dried for at least a year to allow moisture to be released. When the wood has no moisture, it reduces the amount of creosote buildup released dramatically which decreases the likelihood of a fire occurring. If you or anyone you know experiences loss due to a house fire in Minerva, Dundee, New Philadelphia, and surrounding areas, contact your local SERVPRO of New Philadelphia for professional disaster relief.
