冬季供暖安全警告:空间加热器引起火灾;安全地利用它们防止事故。 Winter heating safety warning: Space heaters cause fires; use them safely to prevent accidents.

随着冬季的临近,美国红十字会和消防官员警告说,与使用空间加热器有关的家庭火灾会上升,敦促家庭安全使用加热器。 As winter approaches, the American Red Cross and fire officials warn of a rise in home fires linked to space heater use, urging families to use heaters safely. 他们建议永远不要让加热器无人看守,把它们放在远离易燃材料的硬的、不易燃的表面,并直接插入没有延伸线的插口。 They advise never leaving heaters unattended, placing them on hard, nonflammable surfaces away from flammable materials, and plugging them directly into outlets without extension cords. 为防止火灾,强调自动关闭功能、定期检查和工作烟雾警报。 Automatic shut-off features, regular inspections, and working smoke alarms are emphasized to prevent fires. 还建议每年对炉子、烟囱和炉灶进行维护。 Annual maintenance of furnaces, chimneys, and stoves is also recommended.
