Re: [BlindHandyMan] safety tips for burning wood and more

Lee,
don't kid your self, most sighted people wouldn't have the
slightest idea what goes out the chimney and wouldn't know what to do
about it if they did.

I doubt most wild fires are started by embers from proper
chimneys, more likely from lightning, cigaret buts, or campfires
left unattended or not properly put out.

i'd bet a blind camper could properly put out a camp fire as well
as anybody.

[BlindHandyMan] safety tips for burning wood and more

2006-09-21 Thread Lee A. Stone

 Just had one of those brain  vibrations  as I was thinking of what 
Brice said  not being able to have a fireplace that burns  wood. well 
now thinking of all the forest fires burning around the country  it 
makes total sense. lets face it most of us on the list are blind and how 
 would you know if a burning ember floated off into the sky and to some 
nearby brush ? I think of another blind Friend in Wyoming who has smoke 
from any one of three forest fires  filling her lungs.For  years as a 
blind person I operated my own wood stove , but now that I think of it, 
I had no clue what was going out the chimney at any given time. Yes 
every 2 years we hired a chimney sweep to professionaly  clean the main 
chimney out  but , also we do not live in an area that is prone to brush 
and  forest fires. Lee
