Keep heating units away from all combustible materials like curtains, clothing, and blankets; a minimum of three feet is recommended. Keep children and pets away from heating units, which should also be kept clear of any holiday decorations. Finally use heating units according to manufacturers&#8217; recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>The Chester County Fire Marshal\u2019s Office also reminds residents that now is the time of year to make sure that whole-house heaters and fireplace chimneys are checked by a certified professional for proper operation. Make repairs to avoid problems later.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp\"> \t<form name=\"pdf24Form0\" method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/doc2pdf.pdf24.org\/wordpress.php\" target=\"pdf24PopWin\" onsubmit=\"var pdf24Win = window.open('about:blank', 'pdf24PopWin', 'resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=250,left='+(screen.width\/2-300)+',top='+(screen.height\/3-125)+''); pdf24Win.focus(); if(typeof pdf24OnCreatePDF === 'function'){void(pdf24OnCreatePDF(this,pdf24Win));}\"> \t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blogCharset\" value=\"Cw1x07UAAA==\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blogPosts\" value=\"MwQA\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blogUrl\" value=\"yygpKSi20tcvLy\/XK83LzM8ry8zJSS3JzE0t1kvOzwUA\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blogName\" value=\"C8lIVQjNy8zPK8vMyUlVCMnMTS0GAA==\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blogValueEncoding\" value=\"gzdeflate base64\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postId_0\" value=\"M7Q0sjQCAA==\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postTitle_0\" value=\"c84vzSupVEjLLEpVyE0sKs5IzFHIT0tLLSpWKM\/MK0ktUihOTEsFqijJLCgGAA==\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postLink_0\" value=\"yygpKSi20tcvLy\/XK83LzM8ry8zJSS3JzE0t1kvOz9W3L7A1tDSyNAIA\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postAuthor_0\" value=\"AwA=\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postDateTime_0\" value=\"MzIwNNY1NNQ1NFYwsLAyNLQyNAIA\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"postContent_0\" value=\"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\" \/> \t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pdf24.org\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"www.pdf24.org\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.unionvilletimes.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf24-posts-to-pdf\/img\/pdf_32x32.png\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"32\" \/><\/a> \t\t<span class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp-space\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span> \t\t<span class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp-text\">Send article as PDF<\/span> \t\t<span class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp-space\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span> \t\t<input class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp-input\" style=\"margin: 0px;\" type=\"text\" name=\"sendEmailTo\" placeholder=\"Enter email address\" \/> \t\t<input class=\"pdf24Plugin-cp-submit\" style=\"margin: 0px;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\" \/> \t<\/form> <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extra precautions recommended with space heaters\u00a0 With winter\u00a0approaching, the Chester\u00a0County\u00a0Fire\u00a0Marshal\u2019s\u00a0Office\u00a0is urging\u00a0all\u00a0residents\u00a0to\u00a0be\u00a0extremely\u00a0careful\u00a0when\u00a0using\u00a0any auxiliary\u00a0heating\u00a0device.
