From the Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office:
We know tough times sometimes lead families to make tough choices, but staying warm safely shouldn’t be one of them.
Our key home heating safety tips below don’t cost a thing to follow compared to any of these fire hazards possibly costing a life!
• Place space heaters 3-5 feet from combustible objects like blankets
• Plug all heating appliances directly into wall outlets, not power strips or extension cords
• Do not use stoves or ovens to heat homes
• Don’t overfill fireplaces/wood-burning stoves
• Do not leave candles/open flames (or space heaters) left unattended
• Have working smoke alarms in your home!
Let’s be smart and safe in these incoming temperatures, Louisiana!
