As cold weather sets in, firefighters are urging residents to use heating devices safely, particularly space heaters. These devices, while convenient, can pose serious fire hazards if misused. Proper precautions are essential to prevent accidents in homes.
Umatilla County Fire District #1 and the Toledo Fire Department have issued warnings emphasizing that space heaters should never be plugged into power strips or extension cords. Doing so can cause overheating and electrical fires, as the high current drawn by heaters exceeds the limits of these devices. One incident even resulted in a house fire after a heater ignited a couch.
