🥶 Brrrrr… the first big push of colder air has arrived in Illinois!

As temperatures drop, many people will turn to supplemental heating sources to stay warm. But remember: Space heaters need SPACE! 🔥

Keep your home and family safe by following these important tips:

✅ Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn, including furniture, curtains, bedding and clothing.
✅ Plug heaters directly into a wall outlet — never an extension cord or power strip.
✅ Turn heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed.
✅ Place heaters on a flat, stable surface away from foot traffic.
✅ Choose heaters with automatic shut-off features and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

A little extra warmth should never come at the expense of your safety! Help prevent home fires this heating season by giving space heaters the room they need.
