Extension Cords Are Not Permanent Wiring!

Did you know improper use of extension cords is one of the common causes of home fires?

✔ Use extension cords for temporary use only
✔ Never run cords under rugs, doors, or furniture
✔ Plug major appliances directly into a wall outlet
✔ Replace cords that are frayed, cracked, damaged, or warm to the touch

Overloaded or damaged cords can overheat in minutes—putting your home and family at risk.

Stay alert. Check your cords before they become a fire hazard.
