Oregon firefighters responded
to 52 residential fire fatalities last

With the cold weather approach-
mg now is the perfect time to start
thinking about keeping your house
warm and comfortable without your
electric bill going through the roof.
Insulation is often the first and
most important step in weatherizing
your home. According to The Sunset
Home Energy Book, close to 60% of
the energy needed to heat your home
in the winter escapes through parts of
the house than can be insulated - the
walls, ceiling and floor.
Insulation works by trapping
small pockets of air as buffers be
tween warm and cold zones inside
and outside your house - the same
way clothes keep you warm by trap
ping a layer of air between you and
your shirt or sweater. Insulation is
measured by its “R-value” — its resis
tance to heat flow.

smoke detector.
“It’s a fact. Smoke detectors save
lives,” said Panuccio. “For your life
safety - and your fam ily’s - test your
detectors, vacuum out the cobwebs
and dust and replace the batteries.”
The state fire marshal recom
mends placing a smoke detector on
every level o f your home, outside
each sleeping area and in each bed
room.
