Staying Warm While Keeping Safe

November 29, 2006 —

It's not just your heating system you should check, but if you're using a space heater, you'll also want to make sure it's in a safe place.

The El Paso Fire Department warns when using a space heater, make sure to keep it away from anything that could catch fire, and not to leave it on overnight.

While it seems like common sense, space heaters are what caused our last two fires within the city.

If you're using a portable heater, remember to read the directions.

Make sure the heater is for indoor use and use it in a sizeable room with ventilation.

And never sleep with a portable propane heater in an enclosed space.
