Heating Safety

Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from space heaters, fireplaces, and wood stoves.

Always turn off space heaters when leaving the room or going to bed.

Have your furnace and chimney inspected each year by a qualified professional.

Use only approved heating equipment, and never use an oven or grill to heat your home.

Carbon Monoxide Safety

  • Make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home and near sleeping areas.

  • Never run vehicles, generators, or fuel-burning equipment inside garages or enclosed spaces.

  • If your alarm sounds, leave your home immediately and call 911.

Fire Safety

  • Test smoke alarms every month and replace the batteries if needed.

  • Keep fire extinguishers easily accessible and ensure everyone in your home knows how to use them.

  • Create and practice a home fire escape plan with your family.

The Bismarck Fire Department encourages everyone to take these simple steps to stay safe, warm, and prepared throughout the winter season.
