Fireplace Safety: Avoid the Risks of Lighter Fluid

Staying warm by the fireplace is a beloved winter pastime, but the temptation to use unconventional fuel sources like lighter fluid can be risky.

While it may seem like a quick fix, the dangers of using lighter fluid in your fireplace far outweigh any perceived convenience.

Lighter fluid is highly flammable and volatile, designed for quick ignition and intense, short-lived flames.

When used in a fireplace, the rapid combustion can lead to uncontrolled flare-ups, increasing the risk of burns, property damage, and even house fires.

The fumes released can also be toxic, posing a serious health hazard, especially in enclosed spaces. - https://ultimatefireplace.com/blog/can-you-put-lighter-fluid-in-fireplace/?unique_id_4n3k5ogb
