Three Rivers bans wood-burning boilers

Members of the Three Rivers City Commission have voted to ban outdoor solid fuel-fired boilers, which includes wood-burning boilers.
The move caps nearly a year of discussions regarding the devices, prompted by Fire Chief Dan Tomlinson. Tomlinson said his concerns centered less on fire safety and more on the smoke emitted from the boilers.
Commissioners who voted in favor of the ban agreed that considering the proximity of houses within the city limits, the boilers could become a nuisance if improper materials or unseasoned hardwood are placed in the burners.
