🔥 WEST VIRGINIA FALL BURNING LAW BEGINS TOMORROW! 🔥

The Fire Marshals Association of West Virginia reminds everyone that October 1 through December 31, outdoor burning is prohibited between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

If you plan to burn, know the law, keep the fire attended at all times, maintain the required cleared area, and never leave a fire until it is completely extinguished.

🍂🔥 A small outdoor fire can quickly become a major emergency. Burn responsibly and help protect your neighbors, firefighters, property, and West Virginia’s forests.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this reminder!

Halloween decorations should bring the scares—without the fire risk. As you set up your spooky space, keep all décor safely away from heat sources like candles, light bulbs, and space heaters. A little distance helps keep your haunted setup safe for everyone.

🥶 Brrrrr… the first big push of colder air has arrived. As temperatures drop, many people will turn to supplemental heating sources to stay warm. But remember: Space heaters need SPACE! 🔥

Keep your home and family safe by following these important tips:

✅ Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn, including furniture, curtains, bedding and clothing.
✅ Plug heaters directly into a wall outlet — never an extension cord or power strip.
✅ Turn heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed.
✅ Place heaters on a flat, stable surface away from foot traffic.
✅ Choose heaters with automatic shut-off features and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

A little extra warmth should never come at the expense of your safety! Help prevent home fires this heating season by giving space heaters the room they need.

Space heaters need SPACE! 🏠🔥
