by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all ap-
plicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to
prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline
and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and

not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
