LUFKIN, Texas (KTRE) – Lufkin Fire Department officials said they have responded to a lot of calls pertaining to electric and gas heater house fires.

Which is why they presented community members with a safety presentation and free heaters hosted by Impact Lufkin.

“Some of the common things that we will find is that a lot of things will be piled up around them, whether it be clothes, blankets, sometimes it will be too close to a garbage can,” said firefighter and paramedic, Tom Summers.

“From the city officials you know the police, fire department, and those involved with Impact Lufkin, so it really is a community effort and I appreciate them, and I appreciate this heater,” said resident Isaac Scott.
