See continuation on next pageOne of the strongest safety warnings from firefighters is to never plug a space heater into a power strip or surge protector. Power strips are built for low-wattage electronics like lamps, chargers, and small gadgets—not high-wattage appliances. A space heater draws a large amount of electricity, which can cause a power strip to overheat within minutes. Fire departments have shared images of melted and charred power strips to show how quickly they can fail under the strain. Plugging a heater directly into a wall outlet is the only safe option.
In addition to safe powering, authorities stress the importance of placement and supervision. A space heater should always be kept at least three feet away from anything that can burn, such as curtains, bedding, or furniture. It should be placed on a flat, sturdy surface and never left running unattended. Firefighters emphasize that these devices should not be used while sleeping, as a fire can spread rapidly before anyone has time to react.
