LFD Issues Fire Safety Reminders

The weather is cold, the heater is warm and all the family is snuggled together for a winter evening at home. The fun and love of family being together this time of year makes it important to ensure that all of our heating and electrical devices are in working order. Remember to keep 3 feet around heaters clear of anything that might ignite and burn. Be careful when cooking, remember to watch what you are cooking and do not leave it unattended.
Following some basic tips from the National Fire Protection Association and the United State Fire Administration is a good way to stay safe this winter. More information can be found at www.NFPA.org/education and www.USFA.gov .
