    A few tips on how to avoid fire hazards when using space heaters this winter:


    1. Do not hang laundry close to your space heater. If a piece of laundry such as a towel were to fall on top of the heater, it could start a fire.


    2. If you go to sleep with your heater on, make sure it is a safe distance from your sleeping area. If a futon or blanket comes into contact with the heater, it could start a fire.

    3. Turn off your gas heater before refilling its tank. If you leave it on while pouring gas into the tank, spillage could cause a fire.

    4. Always unplug heaters when they aren’t in use. The halogen heater shown in the video has a tendency to turn itself on when somebody nearby uses a TV remote control.
