Q: Can I put a smoke detector on a shelf?

• <div><p>Although you can put a smoke detector on a shelf, the NFPA recommends mounting one on the ceiling or a wall (within 12 inches of the ceiling). If you place your smoke alarm on a shelf, ensure it&rsquo;s away from drafty, damp, or dusty areas and not near cooking appliances, heat sources, or fluorescent lights.</p></div>

Q: What do you put in the bottom of a fire pit?

• <div><p>Most homeowners put a layer of compact sand or gravel at the bottom of their firepit, but you can also choose more decorative options like fire-resistant paving stones, bricks, or fire pit glass. Dirt by itself can even work, but other materials do a better job of spreading the heat around.</p></div>

Q: Can a short circuit start a fire?

• <div><p>Short circuits can cause fires, electrical burns, and electrocution, which can lead to serious injury or even death. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to take preventative measures to prevent short circuits, like getting annual electrical maintenance and an electrical inspection every two to five years, depending on the age of your home.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to burn tree stumps?

• <div><p>Burning a single palm tree stump, if you&rsquo;re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you&rsquo;re burning multiple types of trees. </p><p>Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.</p></div>

Q: Do I also need a cricket for my chimney?

• <div><p>In addition to flashing, a roof cricket can help divert water around your chimney so that it drains properly off your roof. It&rsquo;s shaped like a double triangle and is installed behind the chimney so that falling water spills evenly down each side. This helps prevent water from accumulating behind your chimney, which can increase water damage and the risk of leaks. </p><p><a href="https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IBC2021P1">The International Building Code</a> (IBC) requires cricket installation if a chimney built after 2012 measures over 30 inches in width. Chimneys constructed before that date are typically grandfathered in and aren&rsquo;t required to have crickets installed.</p></div>
