As colder weather approaches, Mineral Wells Fire & EMS reminds residents to use space heaters with caution. These devices can provide comfort during the winter months, but improper use can quickly lead to dangerous fires.

• Keep heaters at least 3 feet away from anything combustible.
• Never use space heaters while sleeping or leave them running unattended.
• Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet—avoid extension cords.
• Use heaters equipped with tip-over protection and automatic shut-off features.
• Keep heaters out of reach of children and pets.
