Cold Weather Minute: Be Careful Where You Store Flammable Materials

February 24, 2011

Never store household chemicals or combustible materials near any gas appliance or equipment. Flammable liquids should be stored outside of living areas in properly labeled, non-glass safety containers and should never be stored in a garage where a fuel-burning appliance is located. When cooking, keep the area around the burners clear at all times and use potholders rather than a dishtowel, which can easily catch fire.
