However, with ownership comes great responsibility in maintaining gas fireplace safety. That is why Doctor Flue feels it is important to join the safety initiative adopted by the Hearth, Patio and Barbeque Association (HPBA) and educate the 11 million Americans that currently own fireplaces.
For fireplaces manufactured after January 1, 2015, it is required that a protective barrier, such as a safety screen, be installed to help prevent burns caused during fireplace operation and cool down times. For gas fireplace consumers, HPBA recommends that you follow these safety tips in assuring your protection and those around you.
