Never plug one device into an extension cord, it could cause a fire

These days we come across numerous warnings regarding the improper handling of heating elements, considering that a huge percentage of winter fires occur precisely because of the improper use of these household appliances.

Statistically, heaters are the second most common cause of fires, so this is a warning to anyone who heats up on them, because when used improperly, they can often catch fire.

Experts note that when heaters are the cause of a fire, it is most often caused by the use of an extension cable to which most of them are connected. Not every extension cable is capable of supporting different power of the devices connected to it, and most often at the same time. If you leave the extension cord and the heater unattended, disaster can easily occur.

Before you turn on the heater next time, keep the following in mind:

– Never leave the heater on unattended

– Do not sleep while your heater is working

– Keep the heater at least one meter away from furniture, blankets, clothes and curtains.

Instead of resorting to dangerous ways of heating the home, pay attention to how to keep the heat in the house. Get window and door tape or some shields to keep the heat in and keep it from blowing through the openings. You can also use bubble wrap to put on the windows for a better seal.
