Space heaters help in cold temps if used safely

On these cold winter days, it can be nice to have a little extra heat in the house. Space heaters will do the job and do it safely -- if you remain aware of possible dangers. Here are three rules of safe space heater use.

1. Keep the heater three feet away from anything in the room. Drapes, papers, and other materials can catch fire from the heat if they are too close.

2. Turn the heater off at night, and when you leave the house or apartment.

3. Be sure to have a carbon monoxide alarm. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas. By the time you notice its effects, it could be too late to get out. Have a smoke alarm outside bedroom doors and in other areas of the house.
