Winter poses unique fire risks, particularly with the increased use of space heaters. Follow these preventative measures to keep your home safe:
1) Maintain a safe distance: Keep space heaters at least three feet away from flammable objects, such as curtains, furniture, or bedding.
2) Never leave candles unattended: Always extinguish candles before leaving a room or going to sleep.
3) Test smoke detectors regularly: Ensure all detectors are functional and replace batteries as needed.
4) Have an escape plan: Prepare and practice an emergency exit plan with your household, especially during colder months.
