The sleet and freezing rain brings with it an increased risk for power outages, prompting Martin to warn central Ohioans about how to safeguard against fires and other hazards while attempting to keep homes warm.
In the months of December, January and February, heating mechanisms such as furnaces and space heaters cause one out of six home fires nationwide, Martin said. Additionally, he said, one of every five fire-related deaths involves heating equipment.
Martin advised that all homeowners test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. If areas of central Ohio experience power outages, those who use electric of kerosene indoor heaters should maintain a three-foot radius around them and turn them off before going to sleep. Those who use fire places to provide heat should use cut and dried firewood, not sticks and other kindling from their backyards.
Those who have generators must operate them outside and away from doorways or other places where air circulates into the house, including garages and basements, to prevent carbon monoxide from spreading throughout their homes. Candles are meant to be stationary and not used as a mobile light source, Martin said. Battery-operated flashlights and lanterns are much safer. Ovens, stoves and backyard barbecue pits should not be used to heat the indoors, as they can be unwieldy fire hazards that spread carbon monoxide, Martin said.
