In olden times, like when I was a kid, sometimes we would have what the old folks of that day called a “cold snap.” Now it’s modern times, so today we have a polar vortex. It’s the high tech, high priced version of the old cold snap.
We can still use a fireplace to stay warm. But as I type this, there is an impressive array of city fire-fighting equipment in front of the house next door to mine – big trucks with flashing red lights and brilliant white strobes. I see no fire, so I suspect that the residents of the house attempted to build a fire in the fireplace and either forgot to open the fireplace damper or were unaware they had to do so before building a fire.
In the spirit of public safety, I have placed the following video on this blog post. If you feel chilly, simply play the video full-screen by clicking the full-screen button at the bottom-right corner of the Player. This video will not fill your house with smoke – guaranteed.
