Heater safety
- Keep papers and toys away from the furnace and water heater. Don't store gasoline, paint thinner or aerosol cans near them either, as the vapors could be ignited by pilot lights or appliance flames.
- Remind the adults in your home to have your furnace, vents and chimney inspected every year or two by a qualified service person. Blockages or cracks can make it hard for heating equipment to work properly, and may lead to dangerous carbon monoxide buildup.
- Use space heaters safely. Make sure the space heater is properly vented to the outside. Keep space heaters away from any flammable objects such as papers, draperies etc.
