Fire Safety Statement

At Stafford’s Fuels, customer safety and fire safety is of paramount importance. All solid fuel products supplied by Stafford’s Fuels are manufactured and distributed in accordance with applicable quality standards and are intended for use in domestic open fires and solid-fuel stoves when used correctly.

While solid fuels are safe when handled and used responsibly, all fires involve inherent risks. We strongly advise customers to follow standard fire safety practices at all times.

General Fire Safety Guidance

• Always use afire guard or spark guardwhen operating an open fire, particularly if leaving the room unattended.
• Never leave a fireunattended for extended periods.
• Do not place combustible materials (such as mats, rugs, newspapers, or packaging) directly in front of the hearth opening.
• Ensure fires are built within the confines of the grateand are not over-packed.
• Use only suitable firelighters and kindling and follow manufacturer instructions.
• Ensure smoke alarms are installed, operational, and tested regularly.

Fuel Handling and Storage for Fire Safety

• Store solid fuels in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
• Keep fuel off concrete floors and away from external walls where condensation may form.
• Inspect packaging before use and do not use fuel that appears damaged, damp, or compromised.
• Keep fuel away from sources of heat, ignition, or naked flames while in storage.

Important Notice

Solid fuels, including wood logs and briquettes, can occasionally produce embers or small burning fragments, particularly in open fires. This is a known characteristic of solid fuel combustion and reinforces the importance of using appropriate fire guards and maintaining safe clearances around the fireplace.
