It's cold!!

When it gets this cold in Florida, the space heaters come out of storage. If you or someone you know is using a space heater, please pay attention to this. Every year we hear stories about people that die in fires started by a space heater. It's already happened this season. Make sure  if you're using space heaters that they're in proper working order and away from combustible materials. Anything that can catch fire needs to be well away from most space heaters. Every year, someone dies of carbon monoxide poisoning. If your heater burns fuel it produces carbon monoxide. You can't see or smell carbon monoxide. You just go to sleep and probably don't wake up. Make sure any fuel burning device you're using to heat your home is properly ventilated. Please, be safe this season. Don't let you or someone you know be a victim of fire or carbon monoxide poisoning because of improper use of a space heater. There are some space heaters available that are not fuel burning and some that don't have electric elements that can cause fires. You can address questions to glenn@glennboyles.com
