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.
