Are space heaters dangerous? Follow these safety tips!

With winter weather on the way, you may be looking for some extra ways to keep warm, like a space heater. They're convenient, but they do come with some risks. Experts say a space heater may not be the best option to keep warm during the cold weather. Officials say a flawed space heater sparked a deadly fire in New York City last week, killing 17 people. Recent data shows 81% of home heating fire deaths involved stationary or portable space heaters. Keep it at least three feet away from anything flammable, like curtains, bedding and upholstered furniture. And always turn it off when you go to bed or leave the room. Plug space heaters directly into the wall, never use a power strip. Fire officials say a surge protector may not be equipped to handle the power needed for the space heater and could cause a fire if it becomes overwhelmed. And finally, only use space heaters with a tag from an approved testing lab. The cautionary tips may seem a little over the top when you're cold, but they could end up saving your life. #WakeUpCLT #SpaceHeaters Keep Reading: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/loc...
