Remember to exercise an abundance of caution when using a space heater. Keep them away from curtains, furniture, paper, and anything remotely flammable. Check them frequently. It goes without saying to be sure your smoke detector is in working order before using a space heater - or a fireplace. Speaking of fireplaces, when is the last time the chimney was checked or cleaned?
Do you still have a live Christmas tree up from the holidays a couple of weeks ago? The drier weather will cause the tree to dry out faster which is also a fire hazard. Check the water level daily. Please also use caution when taking down all those Christmas lights and decorations.
Even though it is chilly (well, cold) here, just remember we are not dealing with snow and ice!
Hope you all have a happy and safe new year!
