The Roswell Fire Department asks everyone to please remember: 

• Use space heaters as directed by the instructions and keep away from combustibles.
• Do not use extension cords or “power strips” to supply power to space heaters.
• Never leave space heaters or other heat-producing appliances unattended.
• Do not use ovens to heat a room or home. Leaving the door of the oven open for heat can be deadly by allowing carbon monoxide to build up in the room or home.
• Constantly attend all cooking activities.
• Beware of the dangers of using heat lamps, especially to provide warmth for pets. The animals can easily knock them over. 

RFD has lots more fire-safety tips everyone can review. Citizens are encouraged to call the Roswell Fire Marshal’s Office at 575-624-6830 with any questions about fire prevention.
