With the upcoming storm, please keeps these winter fire safety tips in mind
*Home fires occur more in winter than in any other season. *Keep portable generators outside, away from windows, and as far away as possible from your home. *Install and test carbon monoxide alarms at least once a month. *Have a qualified professional clean and inspect your chimney and vents every year. *Store cooled ashes in a tightly covered metal container, and keep it outside at least 10 feet from your home and any nearby buildings. *Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet from any heat source like fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators or space heaters. *Plug only one heat-producing appliance (such as a space heater) into an electrical outlet at a time. *Help us by keeping a fire hydrant clear of snow
