There is always a danger when wood is around fire. If left unattended, and if safety measures are not taken, there is a very real possibility of an accidental fire. http://www.speakloud.com.au/safety-tips-for-operating-your-wood-heater-2/ This infographic has no affiliation with this website.

1. SAFETY TIPS FOR OPERATING
YOUR GAS HEATER
TRY IT ON FOR SIZE
While gas fumes are kept under control by your flue,
gas heaters do give off some scent, and this can be
risky in a small room, so make sure the size you
select is a good fit. Your supplier can advise you.
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
Avoid gas heaters for the bedroom, because you’ll be
asleep a long time and may not notice any leaks
until it’s too late, At the same time, as much as your
gas fire may have protective glass over it, keep it
far from obviously flammable items like hanging
draperies, curtains, bookshelves
STORAGE MATTERS TOO
If your gas heater is portable, don’t leave it out in
the open when it’s not in use, especially if you have
pets and toddlers that could tip it over. Always
store it in an upright position, preferably in a
lockable shelf or room.
We fear fire almost as much as we revere it. We love the ability
to cook, stay warm, and have romantic sessions in front of the
hearth, but we also have a healthy awareness of its potentially
destructive force.
