Brrrrrr! Even though the first day of winter is still weeks away, the cold weather is already here. As temperatures fall, the risks to homeowners and their families increase as more people stay indoors in order to keep warm.

This winter, stay warm *and* safe with some easy to remember fire safety tips. Remember:

-Keep flammable items like blankets, rugs, or furniture at least three feet away from space heaters and wood stoves.

-Never place your Christmas tree near heating equipment, fireplaces, candles, or other sources of heat.

-Always keep your Christmas tree watered to prevent the tree from drying out.

-Practice a home fire escape plan with your family. Everyone should know two ways out of each room.

-Always turn portable heaters off when leaving a room or going to bed.

-Never use your oven to heat your home.

-Have heating equipment and chimneys inspected every year.

-Working smoke alarms are every homeowner’s first line of defense against home fires all year long. To help protect Tennesseans and save lives, the SFMO’s "Get Alarmed, Tennessee!" free smoke alarm program is helping reduce the risk from home fires.

Not all essential workers are doctors, nurses, etc. These workers at the Dollar General Store in Mountain City have been working long, tireless hours over the last several months. Often they are yelled at, harassed and belittled for not having items in stock or for things that are beyond their control. But they have been amazing helping us find supplies to open our Mountain City office. As a thank you, our Mountain City Branch Manager Angie Sluder, took them a small token of gratitude with pizzas. Thank you to the staff at the Mountain City Dollar General Store!
