    This time of the year, is dangerous, no matter where one lives, and not matter what their ethnicity is. Gas furnaces, oil burnning furnaces, electric heat, propane gas tanks, etc. must be inspected. Hazardous electrical wiring is also a problem. In addition, candles and other heating devices left unattended can be disastrous. Burning cigarettes can also start fires. Last, grease on a stove can start a large fire.
    I wish everyone, of any religious or ethnic denomination to be safe this winter, vis-a-vis the fire prevention conditions of their homes.
