With winter upon us, temperatures will be dropping steadily as the cold weather puts a grip on many areas of New Mexico. Being aware of space heater misuse/fire risk is essential to reducing the chance of a fire in the home. With 79 percent of fire deaths caused by space home heaters, according to a report that was noted by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), it’s best to be aware of proper use as the cold weather causes an increase in space heater usage.
The NFPA’s VP of communications, Lorraine Carli, emphasized the fact that 50 percent of space heater fires begin due to something being very close to the heater. An object and a space heater need a safe distance of three feet or more, as noted by Lorraine Carli.
