Space Heater use can be dangerous. It is the hope of Gardner Magazine that listeners to this podcast will do so safely and save lives. Never leave a space heater unattended.

Gardner Magazine Introduces a New Feature – Debates with Max and Maxine Rogers. Debut Podcast: Space Heater Safety

These brother and sister AI Characters are part of the Rogers family. The idea is to provide an objective discussion on an important issue. In this Debate, Max and Maxine speak about the 3 foot clearance rule and the Never-use- an- extension cord rule. Listen on any device, CLICK PLAY.

To ensure home fire safety, users must maintain a three-foot clearance between space heaters and any flammable household items. It is critical to plug these devices directly into wall outlets, as utilizing extension cords creates a significant fire hazard. For maximum protection, heaters should only operate on flat, stable surfaces under constant supervision and must be powered down before sleeping or exiting a room. Consumers should prioritize purchasing equipment that features a safety certification label from a recognized testing laboratory. Additionally, users must keep electric units away from moisture and avoid prohibited items like unvented kerosene heaters. Following these preventative measures protects children, pets, and property from the dangers of accidental combustion and saves lives.
