SHARE ON:
The province has issued a warning about prohibited non-certified gas fireplaces.
Alberta Municipal Affairs says some of the gas fireplaces manufactured by Canadian Fire Hearth Manufacturing Inc. and Luxor Manufacturing Inc., are not certified and may pose a hazard when in operation.
The notice affects various years, makes and model numbers and the fireplaces in question won’t bear the valid certification mark of the Standards Council of Canada.
All affected fireplaces are to be removed from operation immediately and the gas supply to the appliance is to be terminated.

Skip Ad All Albertans who must self-isolate due to COVID-19 can now access hotel rooms paid for by the province and will be eligible for $625 once they complete the self-isolation. Alberta Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver said Monday those who need to quarantine because they or a family member tested positive but are unable to do so safely at home are eligible upon referral by Alberta Health Services. It’s an expansion of an outreach program first announced in December aimed at helping communities hard-hit by COVID-19 in Edmonton and Calgary, in part because of multi-generational living arrangements and cultural barriers.
