Space heaters can be great to add a little warmth to a room or help when temperatures drop lower than normal. But they can be a fire risk, so it's important to keep the area around them clear and turn them off when not in the room. 

Knowing the risks within our homes helps us to lower the risk for our families. More than 15,000 fires a year are started by clothes dryers. Clean the vents at least once a year. 

Seven people die every day from a home fire, most impacting children and the elderly. Make sure you your family has a fire escape plan for your home and practice it regularly. 

In addition to making sure that smoke alarms are installed around your home, you should also practice fire drills at home. Practicing fire drills at home ensures everyone in the home knows what to do and where to go in case a fire occurs. 

Smoke alarms save lives, make sure that there is a working smoke alarm outside of each sleeping area. In addition to smoke alarms installed in proper locations make sure that batteries are changed twice a year to ensure safety for you and your family.
