Winter is definately here in Fairfield Glade. To prop up the effectiveness of their heating system, many people use portable space heaters. 

Winter space heater statistics highlight significant fire risks. Space heaters are responsible for a large portion of home heating fires and fatalities, peaking in winter months (Dec-Feb), due to misuse such as proximity to combustibles or improper placement. Statistics show space heaters are involved in ~44% of heating fires but cause ~81-86% of heating-related fire deaths, leading to hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries, and over a billion dollars in property damage annually, emphasizing the need for strict safety measures.
