Winter Heating Safety

BE WARM AND SAFE THIS WINTER!

Did you know that heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fire deaths?

Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heating equipment.
Never use your oven to heat your home.
Remember to turn off portable heaters when leaving the room or going to bed.
Install and maintain a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm.
Make sure all fuel burning equipment is vented to the outside to prevent CO poisoning.
Keep portable generators outside and as far away as possible from house and windows.
Plug only 1 heat producing appliance (space heater) into an electrical outlet.
