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.
