[californiadisasters] Life: As Frail as a Frayed Cord, Clogged Filter or Careless Storage

Let me keep this short and to the point. Accidental fires caused by home heating take lives. Here are three simple ways to help Los Angeles Firefighters:

• If you know someone with a floor heater or wall furnace in their home, make certain they move clutter and combustibles far away. 
• Have your furnace (and fireplace/chimney) serviced and inspected by a professional. It may be time for more than a filter change!
• Review and share our 12 Point Checklist for Portable Heater Safety: http://bit.ly/12-point-checklist-for-portable-heater-safety

The LAFD + USFA remind you "Fire is Everyone's Fight"
