Focus on Home Fire Safety This Winter
Editor Robin Yonash of the Greater Colfax Area Fire Safe Council urges winter fire safety. Detectors should be on every level with both ionization and photoelectric types, tested monthly, and battery backups provided. CO detectors are advised near wood stoves and furnaces. replace old AC-powered units after ten years. Dispose of ionization alarms as hazardous waste and store ashes cold in a metal container away from the home. Holiday safety stresses proper lighting, avoiding overloads, keeping trees hydrated, avoiding candles near trees, and unplugging decorations at night.
