An unseasonably warm October has given way to a frigid November, and across New York State the home-heating season is beginning in earnest. The Firemen's Asso- ciation of the State of New York (FASNY) is reminding residents to take precautions during these cold winter months, as heat- ing is one of the leading causes of residen- tial fires. In particular, FASNY urges resi- dents and landlords utilizing alternative home heating sources (such as wood burn- ing stoves, space heaters, and fireplaces) to take extra care. FASNY offers these safety tips when using the following heating systems: Portable space heaters: • Never leave a portable space heater in a room unattended, and always follow manu- facturer's instructions for proper use and maintenance. • Use space heaters for a limited time eachday • Never connect a space heater to an out- let with an extension cord. • Unplug the unit when not in use. Let it cool down prior to storing the unit. • Keep a window ajar or the door open in a room where an unvented heater is in use. • Never use heaters to dry clothing or other combustibles. Fireplaces: • Make sure the flue is open before using a fireplace for the first time this season. • Remove any and all obstructions from your chimney. Obstructions will cause carbon monoxide to back up into your home. • Never leave a fireplace unattended. • Chimneys and vents should be inspect- ed and cleaned annually • Take care when stoking a fire. Do not burn newspapers or trash in a fireplace - doing so may ignite a chimney fire or send flaming embers into your home, causing fire. Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Alarms: • Test your home smoke alarms at least once per month. Do this by pressing the \test\ button on the unit. • If your detectors are battery operated, check the batteries often to make sure the units are operational. • If you do not have one already installed, install a carbon monoxide alarm to detect production of potentially lethal carbon monoxide by gas fireplaces, gas stoves, bar- becues, gas furnaces. • Use Daylight Saving Time as a bi-annu- al reminder to change your smoke alarm and CO alarm batteries twice a year.
