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! 🏠🔥
