SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. — Colder temperatures are here and your home is about to start working a little harder to keep you warm.
The Spokane Valley Fire Department says a little preparation right now can help keep your home warm, safe and fire free all season long.
SVFD says to make sure to have your wood-burning fireplace and chimney inspected and cleaned as needed, never overload an outlet by plugging too many things into it. Overloaded outlets can overheat and start a fire.
The fire department says space heaters also need to be kept away from anything that can burn, including furniture, curtains, blankets or laundry.
