ORLANDO, Fla. —  Now that Central Floridians are feeling a dip in temperatures, Orange County Fire Rescue wants to remind people about space heater safety.

In a series of tweets, OCFR states that 43 percent of all heating fires are attributed to space heaters.

Firefighters suggest using a portable space heater with an auto shut off feature in case the unit tips over.

Also, make sure your space heater is on a flat surface at all times.

Firefighters advise keeping the heater at least 3 feet away from things such as curtains and comforters.
