1— Inspect your basement or furnace room, and throw out old paint pails, oily rags, newspapers, magazines, or other combustible rubble that may be stored there. 2— If the heating unit was not checked before winter started, call your serviceman and have it inspected now.

3— If even a faint fuel odor arises from your heating plant, call a qualified heating man immediately to check your flue pipa, vent connections, and chimney.

4— If you use a portable oil or gas heater, always turn it off when you retire at night.

5— Your fireplace should be protected with a metal fire screen, placed flush against the fireplace when it is in use.
