Residents should be aware of the dangers when heating equipment is used incorrectly. According to the National Fire Prevention Association, heating equipment or device failure is the leading cause of nationwide home fire deaths. Always use caution and care when utilizing space heaters and fireplaces to stay warm. Recent tragedies in other communities have heightened the awareness of the dangers the cold presents as residents try to stay warm. OCFR and partners hope to minimize the need for emergency response by ensuring that all heating devices are being used properly and safely during the cold spell this week.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WHEN: <\/strong>Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2018, 10:30 a.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT: <\/strong>Safety briefing on the use of space heaters and other devices during cooler temperatures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHERE: <\/strong>Orange County Fire Station 81, 901 S.
