IT’S GETTING COLDER IN PRESCOTT, AND THAT MEANS PEOPLE WILL START USING THEIR FIREPLACES TO KEEP WARM. OFFICIALS WITH CENTRAL ARIZONA FIRE AND MEDICAL AUTHORITY WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE TO HAVE THEIR FIREPLACES INSPECTED BY A CERTIFIED COMPANY. 

IN ADDITION, WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACES SHOULD HAVE THEIR CHIMNEYS SWEPT TWICE A YEAR AND GAS FIREPLACES SHOULD HAVE IT DONE ONCE A YEAR. AS AN EXTRA PRECAUTION, CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS SHOULD BE CHECKED MONTHLY.
