This is high season for home fires. While cooking is the leading cause of home fires year round, the heating-related fires are a close second during the winter months - think radiators, wood stoves and fireplaces. Using inappropriate and hazardous materials during power failures can also lead to a winter fire - relying on candles for lighting, using a range of gases for heat or a portable grill for cooking. This can also lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, such as running a generator or too close to home.
Here are some short videos of FEMA that offer quick reminders about fire safety.
And with all this snow, remember to dig nearest fire hydrant - just a few minutes can make a difference as regards the fire.
