Heaters should always stand in a safe place where they can't be knocked over and where they can't be tripped over.

DO NOT position heaters near to furnishings, such as curtains and cushions.

Portable heaters should never be placed too close to beds or used to dry clothes.

Gas heaters should be serviced regularly to ensure that flues are clear and there are no leaks. Gas appliances must be serviced by a Corgi registered engineer.

Carbon monoxide detectors may be purchased at most hardware stores.

Open fires should be correctly guarded, and if you have young children make sure you use an all-enclosed guard with your heater as well.

DON'T SIT CLOSER THAN THREE FEET TO A HEATER.
 NEVER PUT A HEATER NEAR CLOTHES OR FURNISHINGS.

Fires started by heating appliances caused
46 deaths in the year 2000.
