Wood's return as an important
home heating fuel focuses new at-
tention on an old problem --- chim-
ney fires.
If you recently joined the ranks of
wood burners, learn the cause of
these dangerous fires and how to
guard against them.
Such fires occur thousands of
times a year in the U.S., causing an
estimated $20 million in damages.
Minimize risks of chimney fires by
understanding what causes them
and by taking a few precautions.
A cr#osote buildup inside the
chimney causes the fires. The creo-
sote is a collection of unburned
gases and tars from the fireplace,
fireplace insert or stove.
When this condensed material
collects on a relatively cool surface,
it will contain a large amount of wa-
ter and thus will be fluid-like. If the
surface is 150 degrees Fahrenheit
or hotter, little water will be present
and the creosote will be thick and
tar-like. This tar-like material eventu-
ally will change to a solid or flaky
form.
There is no way to prevent the
formation of creosote, but it can be
minimized. Avoid smoldering fires.
Burn seasoned hardwoods when
possible.
Inspect the chimney thoroughly
to be sure there are no cracks and
that ash clean-out doors are air
tight.
Since creosote condenses when

There is a cooperative effort be-
tween parents and the Alderson
School staff to supplement Alderson
student's education. The Alderson
After School program will start the
week of January 29 and run until
March 23. The eight-week program
offers classes to first through ninth
graders. It will give the students a
chance to try Clay-Art, Basic French
and Spanish, Theater Movement,
and a MTV-type dance class where
the students will learn and do their
own choreographies, to perform in
the spring, and to produce their own
Rock Video.
Classes are divided into two age
groups. There is one class per age
group, per day. Students will be al-
lowed to wait .in Bus Hall until the
first class starts:

should contact the Alderson School

250 degrees Fahrenheit, interior or
insulated chimneys that allow less
heat to escape are preferred. This is
especially true where air-tight wood-
burners are used. .,
Most creosote fires are associ-
ated with poor chimneys that have
low draft, cold walls and a low rate
of burning.
With proper installation and main-
tenance, and regular inspection and
cleaning, your changes of having a
Ronceverte
chimney fire are very low. Inspect
the inside of your chimney or stove-
pipe. If there is more than one-quar-
ter inch of creosote buildup, or if
there are small raided lumps of
creosote, a cleaning is needed.
If the worst should happen and
you have a chimney fire, here are
some suggestions from West Vir-
ginia University Cooperative Exten-
sion Service safety specialists.
• Call the fire department, You
may not need the firefighters, but
calling later may be too late.
• Get everyone in the house
ready to leave the house if neces-
sary.
• Cut off air to the fire. Close
draft and damper controls on a
stove or cover the opening of the
fireplace with any rigid, noncom-
bustible material. There will be a
strong suction from the fire, so use
good judgment in what you use
close to the fireplace opening. Don't
close the fireplace damper, since
this will turn smoke from the fire-
place into the house.
• Use a fire extinguisher. A flare-
like type designed for chimney fires
is best. Ignite it like a road flare and
place it inside the stove or fireplace.
Regular carbon dioxide or ABC
rated extinguishers also can be
used but use good ludgment so you
won't get burned.
• Don't pour or spray water di-
rectly into the chimney. This may
cause rapid contraction and break
flue tiles.
• Continue to check outer sur-
face of the chimney and any inner
walls near the chimney for exces-
sive heat. Do this even after you
think the fire is out.
• Check outside to see if sparks
or embers' blown out of the chimney
are igniting anything on the rcof or
on the ground.
• After the fire, sweep the chim-
ney and carefully check for damage,
Also, resolve to clean your chimney
