随着冬季的到来,美国安全专家正在敦促家庭采取安全取暖做法,以防止火灾和一氧化碳中毒。 As winter arrives, U.S. safety experts are urging households to adopt safe heating practices to prevent fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. 供暖设备是导致家庭火灾的主要原因,尤其是在寒冷的月份。 Heating equipment is a leading cause of home fires, especially during colder months. 当局建议不要使用加热器,只使用经认证的装置,安装和维护一氧化碳探测器,每年检查炉子和烟囱。 Authorities recommend keeping flammable items away from heaters, using only certified devices, installing and maintaining carbon monoxide detectors, and having furnaces and chimneys inspected annually. 他们还强调适当通风的重要性,并避免使用空间加热器的延伸线。 They also stress the importance of proper ventilation and avoiding extension cords with space heaters. 公共卫生官员警告说,许多与取暖有关的伤害和死亡发生在没有工作警报的家中,并敦促家庭制定和实施消防逃生计划。 Public health officials warn that many heating-related injuries and deaths occur in homes without working alarms and urge families to create and practice fire escape plans.
