    Default Preservative in 1980's Fascia in fire!!!!!

    My wife has accidentally burned some finger-jointed pine fascia from the about 1980 in our slow combustion fire. It's still on!

    There was nothing on it to say it was treated. It is relatively pale (i.e. not green) in colour. Does anyone know if it is LOSP or similar or CCA?

    A lot of the current ones are LOSP and whilst not great to burn, there is nowhere near the problem as CCA. But what would they have used in the 80's for fascia?

    Responses would be appreciated.

    Quite likley that it is untreated pine.....if the timber is a clear pine colour and has no green tint, you should be fine.

    If the stove is a closed job, I wouldn't panic about some treated pine.....just don't open the door and don't close the damper down too far.

    You problay run more risk trying to get the stuff out.

    just don't make a habit of it.

    cheers

    Well we are still here and didn't die.
    To remove the ash from the fire, I got dressed up in disposable overalls and a particulate P3 gas mask and used a commercial vacuum with HEPA filter to remove all of the material.

    I then disposed of the ash, vacuum bag and HEPA filter by triple baggging and getting a friend to dispose of it via an industrial waste contractor he knows.

    Over the top? Guess so, but I wasn't taking chances.

    viiking here to pillage another day.
