According to Lowndes County Fire Rescue Chief, Richard Guyton, "Structure fires occur each year in Lowndes County due to substandard heating and/or items or appliances that produce heat being used outside of manufacturer instructions. Citizens are encouraged to protect themselves and their families by making sure kerosine heaters are used properly, space heaters are in good working order and at least three feet from furniture and belongings and that fireplaces are used in accordance with rating guidelines. Wood should not be burned in fireplace inserts rated for gas logs."
