Fall Fire Safety: Preparing Your Home for Colder Weather

As temperatures begin to drop and heating systems come back into use, Ironia Fire Company No. 4 would like to remind Randolph Township residents to take a few simple steps to keep their homes and families safe.

A few important fire safety reminders:

  • Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from fireplaces, space heaters, and other heating equipment.
  • Have heating systems and chimneys inspected annually by qualified professionals.
  • Never leave portable space heaters running when leaving a room or going to bed.
  • Test your smoke alarms regularly and ensure your home has working carbon monoxide alarms.
  • Never plug portable space heaters into extension cords or power strips.

Taking a few minutes to check your home’s fire safety equipment can help prevent an emergency.

Ironia Fire Company No. 4 wishes everyone a safe and enjoyable fall season!

For emergencies, always dial 911.
