FROM THE FIRE CHIEF'S CORNER: HEATER SAFETY

 

By Fire Chief Sam Digiovanna

January 14, 2015 (San Diego's East County) - Cool weather is upon us and that means more home heating use.  This time of year, firefighters respond to an increase call load of “odor of gas in a structure” says Chief DiGiovanna.  You likely haven’t used your heating unit in several months.  It’s a good idea to have them checked before firing them up this winter.  Heating appliances should be serviced annually to keep them operating safely and efficiently. “A licensed heating contractor or Southern California Gas Co. Representative can provide this service for you.”
