Safety Message: The leading factor contributing to the ignition of home heating fires was a failure to clean equipment, a factor often seen in chimney fires. Fires in which the heat source was too close to combustibles were associated with the largest shares of civilian deaths, civilian injuries, and direct property damage. Anything that can burn should be kept at least three feet away from heating equipment, whether a furnace, fireplace, wood stove, or space heater.
