Fire hazard from thin chimneys and timber near heat sources
Precautions against fires from chimney stacks and near woodwork. Use noncombustible insulating gaps, proper flue liners, and metal conduits for wiring. Favor tile slate or metal roof coverings, high grade shingles, and tight sheathing. Burn waste promptly and avoid oily rags to reduce spontaneous combustion risks.
