8Dec

Sometimes when the temperatures really drop, it seems impossible to keep warm with our regular heating system and we add extra blankets and electric heaters.  There are several safety tips to keep the children safe around this new environment.

  • Keep this children away from the space heater.
  • Do not allow them to move or adjust the temperature.
  • Do not use an extension cord and keep the cord extended straight.
  • Keep the heater away from flammable materials, such as:  drapes, bed clothing, towels, or items that could fall on the heater.
  • Always place the heater on the floor.
  • Do not dry items in front of the heater.
  • Turn off the heater before leaving the house.

We hope everyone can keep warm during these cold days of winter.
