If you are using a space heater, place it on a level, hard surface and keep anything fl ammable at least three feet away – things such as paper, clothing, bedding, curtains or rugs. 4. Supervision Required – Turn off space heaters and make sure fi replace embers are out before leaving the room or going to bed. 5. Don’t catch fi re!
