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
