Space heaters are involved in roughly one-third of all home heating fires. Keep them at least three feet away from anything that can burn — furniture, curtains, bedding, and clothing. Always plug them directly into a wall outlet, never an extension cord, and turn them off when you leave the room or go to sleep.

Approximately 65% of all firefighters in the United States are volunteers. In communities like Briaroaks, volunteer firefighters train to the same standards as career departments, responding to fires, medical emergencies, vehicle accidents, and hazardous materials incidents — all while holding full-time jobs and raising families.
