Stay aware to prevent winter fires

Prevent disaster and avoid fires this winter by being aware of your environment. Firefighters say homeowners need to regularly have their heating units inspected. If you have a space heater, keep at least a three foot buffer zone around it, and be sure it has a function that will turn off automatically if it tips over, or overheats. And dispose of fireplace ashes the right way, in an outdoor metal container with a lid, away from anything that can burn.
