Space Heater Preventative Fire Safety

Space Heater Preventative Fire Safety

Here are 5 preventative measures to take when using a space heater-

  1. Level Surface

A tipped over space heater can quickly overheat and cause a fire.

  1. Up to Date Safety Features

Make sure any space heater being used is up to date with the latest safety technology.

  1. Flammable Materials

Being used close to flammable materials can make them quickly go up in flames if exposed to too much heat quickly.

  1. Unattended Heaters

TURN OFF WHEN UNATTENDED! Leaving a heater running by itself is a surefire way to cause an emergency. Simply turn off and unplug when leaving the room.

  1. Children / Pets

Both young children and pets cause a safety hazard when around space heaters. It is best to keep them completely away from any heaters that are on. If it is unavoidable, you can purchase a safety screen that will put a three-foot barrier around the device.
