October is Fire Prevention Month.  This year’s theme is “Heaters Need Space.”  One of the leading causes of home fires in Alaska is misuse of heating equipment, according to Alaska’s Department of Public Safety, Fire & Life Safety Division.  Please be aware that heat sources need 36 inches of space from other objects & combustibles.

Also, don’t forget to check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to make sure they are in working order.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
