KFR talks about a leading cause of fires
If you only have a few outlets around your home, it's not really a big issue until something like Christmas comes around.
Extension cords and power bars are being busted out to provide energy around the home to match that buzz of excitement for the holidays but Fire Inspector Sebastian Smiertka (Smee-yehrt-ka) with Kingston Fire and Rescue says make sure you read that fine print before you start plugging things in.
Smiertka says the amount of power that a fridge may need is drastically different than those Christmas lights - make sure you got the right cord.
