A Smoking Heater Is a Red Flag

Monday, February 14th, 2022

Have you ever heard the phrase “where there’s smoke, there’s fire?” Well, this phrase is almost always going to be true, since smoke is a direct product of fire.

Fires, especially residential fires, are a lot less common than they were in the old days.
