3. 🔥 Keep a 3-foot radius clear around your space heater. Keep it away from curtains, furniture, and anything that could potentially catch fire.
4. ⚠️ Never stick your hands in a running snow blower to clear a jam!

1. 🚒 Help us out and keep hydrants clear of snow, you never know when it might be needed!

2. ❄️ Also, remember to keep furnace vents along your house clear to allow them to work properly and not build up deadly Carbon Monoxide (CO) inside your home!

@natebenson @WGRZ Great reminder, Nate! Thanks! Stay safe and warm!

[Snyder Fire Department @SnyderFire]

@HeatherLyWGRZ @WGRZ Great reminder, Heather! Stay safe and warm!

[Snyder Fire Department @SnyderFire]

Important!! Keep your vents clear!

[Heather Ly @HFormerLYonTV]

Make sure you clear your vents! Mine went from fine to completely drifted over in a couple of hours. Photo on the right is after I dug them out. @wgrz

[Nate Benson @natebenson]

Remember, as you dig out today, take five extra minutes to clear your nearest fire hydrant.

Plows are out clearing streets and snow can easily get pushed up and over a hydrant.

You or your neighbors will be grateful if it’s needed in an emergency. @wgrz

[Snyder Fire Department @SnyderFire]

- 🚦A traffic light that is out should be treated as a four-way stop
- ⚠️ Watch for debris in the roadway

[Snyder Fire Department @SnyderFire]
