The cold weather has arrived and we are asking for your help to double check your heating practices at home. Take the time to check on a few common causes of house fires in our area: Plug a space heater directly into the outlet in the wall and never a power strip or surge protector. Be sure there is a 3 foot space around any heating source you have in your house, whether it be space heaters, fireplaces, furnace, or wood stove. Finally, make sure your smoke detectors and CO detectors are working. Be sure to call 412-833-2000 or 911 if you need us to come check on a possible problem in your house (we promise not to use all the lights and sirens unless its a real emergency).
