Why is certified heat-treated firewood safe against invasive pests? It has been heated to 160 degrees for 75 minutes to kill any potential diseases or insects hiding in the wood. Properly treated firewood will have a state agency or USDA certification on the packaging. Find local sources of firewood at https://firewoodscout.org/resources/ME
