Workshops
“COAL AND WOODBURNING
STOVES” is the title of a one-day
workshop designed for fire officials,
home owners, code enforcement
officials and others who, need to
know proper installation and main-
tenance of the solid fuel units.

vania State University College of
Engineering, the program is sched-
uled to run from 8:30 a.m. until 4
p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 23, at the

Haven.

tion (NFPA) requirements will be

problems, ' types, construction,

The instructor at the workshop
will be Joseph J. Ferrer, consultant
to the code enforcement section of
Pennsylvania Department of Com-
munity Affairs. His qualifications
include owning and operating his
own woodburning stove for 4!»
years.
According to Ferrer, coal and
wood stoves are the primary alter-
natives that Pennsylvania residents
have turned to as the price of home
ately, the typical homeowner has
limited knowledge of proper instal-
lation or maintenance.
As a result, there is an immediate
need for such home owners and for
fire officials, local elected officials
rectly involved with alternative
forms of home heating, to educate
themselves in the fundamentals of
safe and efficient installation and.
operation.
