🔌 Cords & outlets

Overloaded outlets and damaged cords start thousands of fires each year.

• ✓Plug big appliances, like space heaters and air conditioners, straight into the wall.
• ✓Don't plug power strips into other power strips.
• ✓Replace cords that are cracked, frayed or warm to the touch.
• ✓Never run cords under rugs or through doorways.
• ✓Call an electrician if lights flicker or breakers keep tripping.

In an emergency, always call 911.
