It's cold in Spokane and we have already had devistating residential fires caused by space heaters and overwhelmed electrical systems from those devices. Right now, make sure your heater has been tested for safety.
1. CHECK YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS!
2. Look on the bottom for a label such as ETL, UL or CSA.
3. Place space heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn - including furnit...ure, people, pets and curtains.
4. There should always be an adult in the room when a space heater is on.
5. Turn OFF the space heaters before leaving a room or going to sleep.
6. Supervise children and pets at all times when a portable space heater is in use.
7. NEVER use space heaters to dry clothing or blankets.
