As the title states there are 7 things you can do to help you reduce the risk of a fire. Keep anything flammable at least 3 feet from the heating equipment. Remember to turn off portable heaters when leaving the room or going to bed. Always use the correct type of fuel specified by the manufacturer for your fuel burning space heaters. Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room. Also ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container. Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a certified professional. Have a qualified professional do any installation of space heating equipment, water heater or central heating equipment according to local codes and manufacturers' instructions.
