If you are using a portable heater:

• Make sure the heater has an automatic shut-off so if it tips over, it shuts off
• Keep anything that can burn, such as bedding, clothing, and curtains, at least three feet from the heater
• Plug portable heaters directly into wall outlets. Never use an extension cord or power strip
• Turn heaters off when you go to bed or leave the room.

If you are using a fireplace:

• Keep a glass or metal screen in front of the fireplace to prevent embers or sparks from jumping out and starting a fire
• Do not burn paper in your fireplace
• Before you go to sleep or leave your home. put the fire out completely
• Put ashes in a metal container with a lid. Store the container outside at least 3 feet from your home.
