Electrical Hazards — Safety Tips

Firefighters notice electrical hazards quickly. Here’s what we wish everyone knew:• Space heaters + power strips = major fire riskAlways go straight into the wall.• Holiday lights get hot. Never bundle cords or hide them under rugs.• Warm outlets are warning signs. If an outlet feels hot, unplug and stop using it immediately.• Extension cords aren’t permanent solutions.Especially with holiday decorations and kitchen appliances.Electrical safety is one of the simplest ways to prevent winter fires.
