Summary
The October 2013 Beaver Beacon publishes a Beaver Island Fire Department chimney-fire safety advisory. It tells residents to call 911, stay outside, let firefighters address the fire and hidden spread, and clean chimneys before the heating season.
Evidence limits
This is a safety advisory framed through a hypothetical household fire; it is not a report of a specific October 2013 chimney fire.
