Space heaters are a convenient way to warm a room during cold weather, but they also pose a significant risk of fire if not used properly. These portable devices can overheat or cause nearby materials, such as curtains or furniture, to catch fire.

To minimize the risk of a space heater-related fire, always place the heater on a flat, stable surface and keep it at least three feet away from any flammable objects. Never leave a space heater unattended, especially when sleeping or leaving the room.

Choosing a space heater with safety features, such as an automatic shut-off, is also important in case the device tips over or overheats. Regularly inspect the heater for any signs of wear or damage, and replace it if necessary. Also, avoid using extension cords with space heaters, which can overheat and lead to fires.

By following these safety tips, you can enjoy the warmth of space heaters while minimizing the risk of fire in your home.
