USE ENERGY SAFELY TO KEEP SAFE AND WARM THIS WINTER
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), nearly half of all home-heating fires occur during the winter months. Many are caused by home heating devices and many are preventable by following basic energy safety tips including:
· Space heaters need space and should not be left unattended, and
· Devices that are not meant to heat a home, such as your oven, should never be used to “take the chill out”.
On those chilly winter nights when deciding how to heat your home, think comfort, think warmth, but first and foremost think SAFETY!
