State Fire Marshal William E. Barnard is cautioning residents when<br \/>\nusing alternative light and electrical sources during power outages. \u201cThese easy to follow tips will help<br \/>\nall Marylanders avoid injury or death during power outages,\u201d said the State Fire Marshal.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use flashlights during power outages instead of candles. Keep plenty of fresh batteries on hand at all\u00a0times. If you prefer the look of candles, consider flameless battery operated candles that offer the\u00a0flickering light without the potential fire hazard.<\/li>\n<li>If using candles, make sure they are placed on a stable piece of furniture in sturdy holders that will not\u00a0tip over. Candles should fit in the holders securely and the holders should be made of material that\u00a0will not burn.<\/li>\n<li>Keep candles away from anything combustible, such as; clothing, books, papers, curtains, decorations\u00a0or anything else that can burn.<\/li>\n<li>Do not place candles where they can be knocked over by children or pets.<\/li>\n<li>Always extinguish all candles when leaving the room or before going to sleep.<\/li>\n<li>Never use candles, matches or lighters if medical oxygen therapy is used in the home.<\/li>\n<li>Check portable electric heaters for frayed\/damaged wires and ensure they are clean and placed on a flat\u00a0level surface. Use only \u201clisted\u201d by an approved testing laboratory equipment and follow\u00a0manufacturer\u2019s instructions.<\/li>\n<li>Do not use extension cords with portable space heaters. The extension cord can overheat and cause a\u00a0fire.<\/li>\n<li>If you use kerosene fuel fired heaters, use only \u201cK-1\u201d kerosene fuel. Never fill the unit inside, remove it\u00a0to the exterior after it has cooled before refueling.<\/li>\n<li>Open a window enough to provide proper ventilation.<\/li>\n<li>Keep combustibles (furniture, curtains, clothing, paper goods, etc.), at least three feet from all heat\u00a0sources.<\/li>\n<li>Fuel burning appliances can produce the deadly, tasteless and odorless gas known as carbon monoxide.<\/li>\n<li>Install and maintain CO2 alarms inside your home to provide an early warning of carbon monoxide.<\/li>\n<li>Always turn off portable heating equipment when leaving the room for extended periods. Portable\u00a0heaters should never be operated unattended.<\/li>\n<li>If you are depending on portable generators for electricity during power outages, use extreme caution\u00a0when refueling. Fuel splashed on a hot muffler could ignite, causing severe burns and serious\u00a0injuries.<\/li>\n<li>Never attempt to refuel a generator while it is running. Always allow the unit to cool before\u00a0attempting to refuel.<\/li>\n<li>Operate generators outside of the home and outside of garages. Carbon monoxide gas produced by\u00a0operating generators is poisonous and can quickly cause severe injury or death.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure placement of the generator does not allow carbon monoxide to enter the home through\u00a0windows, doors or other openings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>The State Fire Marshal offers one final tip that is just as important. \u201cMake sure your home is\u00a0equipped with working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. These early notification\u00a0devices are some of the most effective fire and life safety tools for preventing injury or death from fire\u00a0<\/em><em id=\"__mceDel\"><em id=\"__mceDel\"><em id=\"__mceDel\">and carbon monoxide poisoning\u201d.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em id=\"__mceDel\"><em id=\"__mceDel\"><em id=\"__mceDel\"><em id=\"__mceDel\">###<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PIKESVILLE, MD (March 5, 2013) \u2013 The potential of Winter Storm Saturn may cause disruption in electrical service to our homes.
