Preventing Electrical Fires in the Home

Prevent an electrical fire in your home by following these simple steps…

  • Never use extension cords with appliances… plug them directly into wall outlets.
  • Replace worn or damaged cords immediately. Do not try to repair them.
  • Avoid putting cords where they can be damaged or pinched.
  • Buy only appliances approved by a recognized testing lab.
  • Use light bulbs that match the recommended wattage.
  • Have all electrical work done by a licensed electrician.
