Fire officials remind everyone that heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fire deaths.

Keep anything that can burn like curtains and furniture at least three feet away from heating equipment. Space heaters should be plugged directly into a wall outlet, not an extension cord.

Never plug more than one heating appliance into an outlet at a time, and never use your oven to heat your home.
