Q: Is it safe to put a fire pit on a deck?

• <div><p>Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.</p></div>

Q: Can I leave my fireplace burning overnight?

• <div><p>No, you should never leave a fireplace burning overnight or unattended during the day. While fireplaces are made to contain fires, fires can and do spread from fireplaces, so it&rsquo;s crucial that you&rsquo;re there to monitor them and put them out if needed. If you&rsquo;re worried about putting out a fire before bed, stop feeding it fuel long before bedtime and actively put out the fire using your poker, a shovel, and some baking soda.</p></div>

Q: Is a spark arrestor the same as a chimney cap?

• <div><p>A spark arrestor is not the same as a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-install-chimney-cap.htm">chimney cap</a>. Both sit on the top of the chimney. However, the cap keeps debris from entering the chimney, and the spark arrestor&rsquo;s primary function is to prevent burning embers from escaping. Some spark arrestors are integrated into the chimney cap, and others are installed separately. </p></div>

Q: How do you determine if a door is a fire door?

• <div><p>Start by checking the top or side edge of the door. Look for a certification label or metal tag stamped with details like the fire rating and information on the manufacturer. Even if it&rsquo;s painted over, the tag should still be visible. Next, look along the edges for slim intumescent strips. They&rsquo;re designed to swell up and seal gaps when exposed to heat. Finally, check if the door closes itself. Most fire doors have a self-closing mechanism, like an overhead closer or spring hinges. If none of these are obvious, contact a fire safety professional to help verify your door. </p></div>

Q: Can you just let a fire burn out in a fireplace?

• <div><p>You can let a fire burn out in a fireplace as long as you or someone else will stick around to monitor it until it goes completely out. This may take several hours. To prepare, stop adding fuel to the fire well before you&rsquo;re ready to call it a night. If you&rsquo;re using the fireplace for warmth, you&rsquo;ll want to cover up in some blankets as the flame dies down.</p></div>
