Furnaces and heaters pose fire hazard
Furnaces and space heaters are often the tools we need to stay cozy through the cold weather. They can, however, pose as a fire hazard.
Curtis Sjodin, Fire Prevention Officer with City of Medicine Hat says to make sure you’re doing a yearly check on your furnace to make sure it’s running properly.
Although Sjodin says Medicine Hat Fire hasn’t responded to a call of a fire started by a heater or furnace, they are more common in the winter than the summer.
