Wrapping paper safety

The Buffalo Grove Fire Department reminds residents to not burn used wrapping paper in fireplaces, as doing so could start a fire. Paper has a very low moisture content and burns more quickly than wood. Additionally, large piles of wrapping paper in the fireplace could produce high flames in the chimney, which could then reach layers of creosote, resin and other combustible material built up within fireplaces. To avoid a potentially dangerous situation such as this, please dispose of all wrapping paper in the garbage.
