Space Heater Safety

Temperatures are dropping and the space heaters are coming out. Every year space heaters are responsible for an average of about 1/3 of winter fires. Exercise caution when using space heaters. Turn them off when you go to sleep or leave a room and maintain a clear space of 3 feet around the entire heater.
Please be safe when keeping warm!

On behalf of the Orangeburg Department of Public Safety we extend to you and your family our wish for a Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season.
May each of you be blessed with the gift of
family, health and happiness. 
- Chief Michael Adams
