Stay Warm, Stay Safe: Essential Space Heater Safety Tips for a Cozy Home

As the temperatures drop, many of us turn to space heaters to stay warm and cozy at home. To ensure your home and loved ones remain safe, remember to follow these crucial safety tips:

Keep a safe distance: maintain a 3-foot safety zone around all space heaters to prevent accidents.
Plug directly: always plug your heaters directly into a wall outlet, avoiding the use of extension cords or power strips.
Clear the area: keep heaters away from blankets, curtains, furniture, and any other flammable materials.
Opt for safety features: choose heaters with automatic shut-off features, especially those that turn off if they tip over.
Turn off when not in use: make it a habit to turn off your heaters when leaving the room or going to sleep.
Supervise children and pets: never leave kids or pets unattended near a space heater, as they may not understand the risks.
Inspect cords regularly: check your heater cords for damage or fraying, and if you find any, do not use the heater.

Staying warm doesn’t have to mean taking risks. By using heating equipment responsibly, we can all help keep our community safe.

Shovel Smarter, Not Harder: Winter Safety Tips to Protect Your Heart and Back

Your Lapel Stony Creek Twp. Fire Territory wants to help you protect your heart, back, and overall health during winter weather. Before you head outside, keep these safety tips in mind:

Shovel Smart & Stay Safe
• Start with a warm-up – a few minutes of light movement can help prevent muscle strain and get you ready for the task ahead.
• Dress in layers to stay warm, but avoid overheating. Don’t forget gloves with a good grip to prevent dropping your shovel.
• Choose a proper shovel that’s lightweight and ergonomic to reduce stress on your back.
• Whenever possible, push snow instead of lifting to save your back from unnecessary strain.
• When you do need to lift, remember to lift with your legs, not your back, and take smaller loads to make the job more manageable.
• Take frequent breaks – shoveling is hard work, especially in heavy or wet snow, and exhaustion can increase your risk of injury.
• Stay hydrated, even in cold weather, to help your body function at its best.
• Listen to your body and watch for warning signs like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness. If you or someone nearby experiences any of these symptoms, stop immediately and call 911.

Look out for your neighbors, especially the elderly or those who may need help clearing snow safely. Checking in on them can make a big difference in their safety and well-being.
