Firewood can be a fire hazard and can increase the risk of a fire spreading in your home if it is stored in a living room, especially if you use candles or have a fireplace nearby.
Ralph Abundo Director of Canberra Bond Cleaning says, 'Firewood should be stored in a safe place outside of the house, such as a shed or garage. This will help to prevent a fire from spreading to the house.'
Firewood can also introduce pests and dirt into your living room if not properly stored.
