in tar, Christmas tree greens,
pitch, pine tar, creosote, chemi-
cal chimney cleaners, fl ame
colorants, polystyrene packag-
ing, wood products with syn-

Plywood, lumber and other
misc. materials can produce
abnormally high temperatures,
sputtering and smoking fi res

chemicals to treat insects and
fungus.

produce excessive tempera-
tures, beyond the design capa-
bilities of the fi replace and may
produce excess sparks or may
contain hazardous chemicals.
