Fire Damage in Cold Weather 

The U.S. Fire Administration has provided some helpful tips to help you and your family as the cold weather continues. Residential fires are a problem, an estimated 32,200 home heating fires were reported within the United States. These fires caused loss of life, injuries as well as hundreds of millions in property loss. They advise people keep anything that can burn at least three feet from heat sources including fireplaces, portable heaters as well as candles. Before using a space heather make sure the cord isn’t damaged or frayed. It's also important to remember to always plug space heaters directly into an outlet. The U.S. Fire Administration reminds people to never use an oven to heat your home. Maintain chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected each year by a professional.
