With colder temperatures arriving, the American Red Cross urges you not to use your oven to heat your home.
Using an oven or generator indoors can release harmful pollutants and create dangerous carbon monoxide levels throughout your home.
It can also start a fire.
Tips for staying warm indoors include:
• Wear several thin layers and cozy socks.
• Use a space heater but keep it off the carpet.
• Seal door drafts with a towel or old blanket.
• Reverse the motion of your ceiling fan.
• And open your curtains or shades during the day to let natural light and heat in. Also, you can call 2-1-1 to find a nearby warming center.
