Though the cause remains under investigation, Casper Fire-EMS reminds the public to heat their homes safely. Particularly, if you're using a wood or pellet stove, make sure the stove, chimney connectors and chimney are installed by a qualified professional and per manufacturer's instructions.

Only burn dry, seasoned wood in fireplaces and dry, seasoned pellets in pellet stoves.

Chimneys and vents should be cleaned each year.
