As the weather changes and temperatures drop, please take a few minutes to ensure your home is ready for safe heating. Keep space heaters at least three feet from furniture, curtains, bedding, and anything that can burn. Plug them directly into a wall outlet and turn them off before leaving the room or going to bed. Have furnaces and chimneys inspected and serviced, check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and never use an oven or BBQ to heat your home. Change the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, along with flashlights and other emergency kits. A few simple precautions can help keep your family warm and safe this season.
