🔥 Portable heater safety 🔥 Whilst the weather is cold, portable heaters can help keep you warm but they can also be a fire risk if used incorrectly. Please remember to: ✔ keep heaters at least 1 metre away from furniture, curtains, and clothing ✔ always place heaters on a flat, stable surface ✔ never leave heaters unattended or on while sleeping ✔ plug heaters directly into a wall socket - avoid extension leads ✔ turn heaters off and unplug when not in use. | West Midlands Fire Service
