Every year fire departments in the Washington, DC area respond to house fires caused by improperly discarded fireplace ashes. Just four days before Christmas, RVFD responded to a fire caused by improperly discarded fireplace ashes that caused over $600,000 in damage and left the occupants homeless.

Please remember to properly dispose of fireplace ashes. Hot embers can remain for days, even when the ashes appear cold.

Do not discard your ashes into any combustible container such as a paper or plastic bag, a cardboard box, or a plastic trash can.
Do not place ash containers on decks, porches or in garages.
Put ashes into a non-combustible metal container with a lid.
Pour water into the container to make sure the ashes are cool.
Keep your can OUTSIDE the home, away from your fireplace or stove and anything combustible.
Teach all family members to be safe with ashes from your fireplace or wood stove.
