Portable Heaters
The
number of residential fires always goes up during colder months, peaking between
December and February. Portable space heaters substantially contribute to this
increase. Before plugging in your space heater, make sure you know how to use it
safely:
- Carefully read the directions for its use.
- Never place a space heater where a child or pet could accidentally knock it over.
- Never place a space heater too close to a bed, especially a child's bed.
- Keep newspapers, magazines, and fabrics from curtains, clothes, or bedding away from space heaters, radiators, and fireplaces.
- Heaters should be at least 3 feet from anything flammable.
