Space heaters & heating
Heating equipment is a leading cause of winter home fires.
- Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet from heaters.
- Plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet, never an extension cord.
- Turn heaters off when you leave the room or go to bed.
- Buy heaters with automatic shut-off if they tip over.
- Have your furnace inspected every year.
In an emergency, always call 911.
