Basement, Garage, and Storage 
 
 
  • Store gasoline and other flammables in tight metal containers. Don't use flammable liquids near heat, a pilot light, or while smoking.
 
  • Have heating equipment checked yearly.
 
  • Clean up your workbench. Keep flammables away from sparks.
 
  • If a fuse blows, find the cause. (Replace a fuse with one of the correct size.)
 
  • Sort and remove rubbish. Don't store things near the furnace or heater.
