The colder weather is here and so is the need to stay warm, but if you use a space heater, do not plug it into an extension cord or a power strip.
Doing so is a fire hazard, according to the fire authorities.
Power strips and extension cords are not equipped to handle the extra current flow needed to power a space heater and can overheat and even catch fire.
Firefighters said heating elements in a space heater can get up to more than 500°F to 600°F. They are reminding residents that a space heater should only be plugged directly into the wall, and always keep an eye on it when it's in use.

No, DO tell Millennial's, Liberals, Snowflakes, and Democrats to do it.
