The woodstoves may already be getting a workout with the cool fall nights in the Highlands but you want to make sure that your chimney stack has been well-cleaned and free of any creosote.
Acting Fire Chief Dan Chumbley also says working carbon monoxide detectors are to be tested in both the spring and the fall.
Chumbley says many people forget about testing the ones that they have at their hunt camps.
With most hunt camps being remote, local officials say to be safe this fall and winter, change the batteries in all your CO detectors, and clean that chimney stack.
