🥶❄️INTENSE COLD INCOMING❄️🥶

With the strongest and longest cold front in quite some time headed to Louisiana, State Fire Marshal Chief Bryan J Adams wants to URGE everyone to follow these home heating safety tips:

🛌Place space heaters 3-5 feet from objects that catch fire easily like blankets
🔌Plug all heating appliances directly into wall outlets, not power strips or extension cords
♨️Do not use stoves or ovens to heat homes
🔥Don’t overfill fireplaces/wood-burning stoves
🕯Do not leave candles/open flames (or space heaters) left unattended
🚨Have working smoke alarms in your home!

The SFM’s Operation Save-A-Life program partners with local fire departments and districts to provide FREE smoke alarm installations, at any time of the year, for families in need of assistance accessing the critical emergency-alert equipment.

In addition to having working smoke alarms, the SFM also emphasizes the importance of having planned and practiced escape routes for your home, including knowing two ways out of every room.

To register for a free smoke alarm, or learn more about Operation Save-A-Life, visit lasfm.org.
