As the weather gets cooler, firefighters have issued an urgent warning to Sydneysiders.

Fire and Rescue NSW Assistant Commissioner Trent Curtin told Jim everyone needs to pay attention to home fire safety, especially when bringing the heater out.

“Those radiator-type heaters, we need to be very, very careful about those.

“Sometimes we’re seeing people bringing heaters that are designed for outdoors and cooking equipment … into their home – that’s a really risky situation, we shouldn’t be doing that.”
