Extension Cord Safety

• Are cords placed out of walking areas and free of furniture resting on them?
  
  • Walking on cords, cords under rugs or carpet, or furniture resting on them WILL create a fire hazard.
    
• Are cords unwrapped?
  
  • Wrapped cords can lead to overheating and cause a fire.
    
• Are extension cords the proper size?
  
  • Extension cords must be large enough to carry the electrical load you need. Check with the sales person to insure your extension cord is large enough for its intended use.
