Space heaters trail only cooking equipment as the leading cause of home fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Here are some safety tips from Underwriters Laboratories:
– Keep anything flammable at least 3 feet away.
– Choose one with shut-off features and heating guards.
– Turn heater off when you’re not in the room or when you’re sleeping.
– Don’t use a space heater with frayed insulation or broken wires.
– Avoid using extension cords with space heaters.
