special thanks to Gerald Mishoe of the CFST for contacting us and providing
these photos and information on their program.

Important safety
message from the Marion Fire Department
During the winter
months, heating systems are the number one cause of house fires. Check and
clean your chimney regularly, burn only seasoned wood in stoves and fireplaces,
never use extension cords for portable space heaters, never leave space heaters
unattended, always refuel kerosene heaters after they have cooled down, never
refuel a kerosene heater inside the house, and always use the correct type of
fuel for your heater. Using any
other type of fuel than what was intended to be burned in it may lead to an
explosion and personal injury.
Let’s all stay safe this winter!
