The graphic reminds people to turn off portable heaters when leaving the room or going to bed to prevent home fires.

Space heaters are a leading cause of home heating fires! Always turn off and unplug portable heaters before leaving the room or going to bed. Nearly 1/2 of all home heating fire deaths happen while people are sleeping, according to the NFPA. Stay safe - heat responsibly!
