PSA--WINTER HOME FIRE SAFETY

December, January, & February are the leading months for home fires and home fire deaths! Fires are caused by inadequate chimney cleaning, placing flammable objects too close to space and portable heaters, errors in fueling heaters, and design and/or installation flaws in home heating equipment. Protect yourself and your family by knowing how to properly use your home system and having all indoor heat sources regularly maintained by a qualified technician. For more information, contact the Cary Fire Department at 469-4056 or visit <www.townofcary.org>.
