SPACE HEATER SAFETY REMINDER

As temperatures drop, space heaters become a common cause of house fires. Please keep your family safe by following these tips:

✔️ Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn

✔️ Never leave a space heater unattended

✔️ Plug heaters directly into a wall outlet — no extension cords

✔️ Turn heaters off when sleeping or leaving the room

✔️ Keep heaters out of bedrooms, especially around children

✔️ Make sure your heater has an automatic shut-off feature if it tips over

🔥 Remember: The safest heat is supervised heat.
If you smell smoke or have an emergency, call 911 immediately.
