Space heaters can be effective tools for heating a small space in the winter. But you must use them with care and caution. Keep anything that can burn at least 3ft from heating equipment. For more heating safety: https://t.co/BjEBg1U4o3 #HeatingFireSafety #3FeetAway

We love ❤️ water 💦 because it helps us put out fire. You can help prevent fire by making sure you watch what you heat, keep space heaters at least 3 feet from flammable items, and be very careful with candles! That way you can sit back and enjoy our #awesome @Raleigh_Water!

[Raleigh Water @Raleigh_Water]

Happy #ValentinesDay from Raleigh Stormwater! We would like to hear why you love water! ❤️

HAVE YOU TESTED YOUR SMOKE ALARMS THIS MONTH?

[U.S. Fire (USFA) @usfire]

Play call - defense!
🏈Stay awake and alert while you’re cooking.
🏈Stand by your pan. If you leave the kitchen, turn the burner off.
🏈Keep a large pan lid or baking sheet nearby in case you need to smother a pan fire.

Want to keep these folks away from your pizza on #NationalPizzaDay 🧑‍🚒👩‍🚒🚒? Set a timer and keep things that can burn, especially children and pets, away from the oven.

It’s a fact: if your smoke alarm was manufactured before February 1, 2014, it needs to be replaced!
Check the back of your alarm for the manufacture date.

[NC Department of Insurance @NCInsuranceDept]

It's the first day of a new month! Now is a great time to check the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms to make sure they're working properly! Smoke alarms are the cheapest form of life insurance you can buy! Protect your home and family - check your alarms!

These stories are of local firefighters facing cancer. Their stories serve as a reminder of the importance of raising awareness of the occupational firefighter cancer epidemic in hopes of preventing future diagnoses.

It's going to be really COLD❄️ this weekend in NC! Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey reminds families about the fire dangers that come with using space heaters. Keep them at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn. And always turn space heaters off when you leave the room.

[City of Raleigh @RaleighGov]

The safest thing to do tonight is stay home. Do that if you can! If you must be out and about:

🔵 Don't drive through flooded roads.
🔵 Don't drive around barricades.
🔵 Be vigilant of fallen debris and power lines.
🔵 If there is a tornado warning, seek shelter IMMEDIATELY.
