Snowfall has a possibility of coming! Be safe and warm!!!
With OKC’s first frost behind us, fireplaces and space heaters are back in rotation. A quick check now can prevent bigger problems later. How to stay safe: Ventless fireplaces: Crack a window for airflow. If the flame or smell seems off, call a professional. Wood-burning fireplaces: Make sure the chimney’s clean, the damper works and decorations aren’t too close to the heat. Space heaters: Plug into the wall, keep clear space around them and turn them off before bed or leaving the room. Home alarms: Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries. A helpful resource: OKC homeowners can request free smoke detector installation from OKCFD. A few minutes of prep now keeps your home warm, safe and comfortable all winter. |
