Some colder weather is expected to move into the region this weekend. New Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department is offering some winter safety tips. They urge residents to keep flammable materials at least three feet away from furnaces, fireplaces, wood stoves and space heaters. 29-percent of fires that spread past the object of origin happened because the heat source was too close to things that can burn. New Fairfield firefighters remind people not to use an oven or stovetop to heat the home. Kitchen ovens were never designed for heating.
