Snow is continuing Friday morning and should stop by mid-day, but temperatures are expected to plummet throughout the day.

INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana's first big winter storm covered our roads with layers of ice and snow, and served up some good reminders to be prepared when severe weather hits.  

With temperatures dropping, space heaters are a great last resort to keep warm without having to boost the thermostat. According to the National Fire Protection Association, heating equipment causes nearly 50,000 fires every year. Make sure space heaters are at least 3 feet away from flammable objects and always turn them off before leaving your home or going to bed. During my 26 years as a firefighter, I helped extinguish countless fires that could have been prevented by following these simple safety tips.
