Gas Fireplace Hazards


Listen Later

It has been a long hiatus! We're back to talk about the importance of gas fireplace safety. 


Reuben shares that he has been too casual about child safety with fireplaces. They talk about how the fireplace glass surface can get very hot and potentially melt skin very quickly.


Would you happen to need a fireplace screen? Reuben discusses how screens can help protect children from injury. They talk about the availability of these products from manufacturers or visit Fireplace Safety Screen • Fireplace Safety Screen. He also shares other DIY options such as safety gates. Tessa inquires about how easy these are to install.


They suggest that home inspectors include this in their reports and for homeowners and real estate agents pass this message along to others.
