Smoke in the air—not just in the summer!
A crackling fire may make you feel snug and homey, but it’s a significant health threat.

What many people don’t realize is that, when a lot of people are burning wood in their homes, the cumulative effect on air quality can be similar to a wildfire. It’s time to rethink how—and whether—we burn wood.
