Preventing Winter Fires

There are several steps you can take to prevent winter fires in your home. First, make sure to have your heating system inspected and maintained regularly. This includes having your furnace cleaned and checked for any damage. You should also be cautious when using space heaters, keeping them at least three feet away from any flammable materials. Additionally, be sure to turn off Christmas lights and candles when you leave the room or go to bed.

Common Causes of Winter Fires

Some common causes of winter fires include:

• Electrical issues with heating systems or Christmas lights
• Unattended candles or space heaters
• Creosote buildup in chimneys
