The Kingsport Fire Department Has Seen Multiple Heating Equipment Fires Over The Last Few Weeks. With Frigid Temps Coming This Weekend, Fire Spokesman Barry Brickey Wants To Remind Residents Of Fire Safety Tips…..
Make Sure Heating Equipment Is Plugged Directly Into A Wall Plug And Not A Surge Protector Or Extension Cord. Keep Heaters Three Feet Away From Other Objects And Have A Three Foot “Kid Free Zone” Around Open Fires And Space Heaters. Also, Check Your Smoke Alarms Every Month.
