Heating Safety Tips for the Cold Winter Months

small space heaterHeat your home safely this winter with these tips:

  • Keep anything that can burn at least three feet from any heat source, including fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators or space heaters.
  • Install and test carbon monoxide alarms at least once a month.
  • Have a qualified professional clean and inspect your chimney and vents every year.
  • Store cooled ashes in a tightly covered metal container and keep it outside at least 10 feet from your home and any nearby buildings.
  • Plug only one heat-producing appliance such as a space heater into an electrical outlet at a time. 

 

Reduce Risk of Dying in Home Fires with Smoke Alarms

The risk of dying in a home fire is cut in half with working smoke alarms. Keep your family safe with these tips:

  • Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping area.
  • Install alarms on every level of the home, including the basement.
  • It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms so that when one smoke alarm sounds, they all sound.
  • Test all smoke alarms at least once a month.
