do not use kerosene or oil heaters in your home. carbon monoxide is the number one winter killer. Also if you use any space heater keep all drapes and linens a minimum of 3 feet away on all sides.

never plug a space heater into a power strip, only directly into the wll to prevent high current draw from melting insulation and starting a fire,

These things are dangerous even with proper precautions so at least read the warnings and heed them.
