Overloading extension cords and power strips can cause a fire at home. Limit their use, and never plug one into another. Always plug heavy appliances like air conditioners and space heaters directly into a wall outlet, not a power strip or extension cord: mass.gov/info-details/e…

Working #SmokeAlarms save lives! Choose alarms that are listed by an independent lab like UL or Intertek/ETL. Install them on every level of your home, test them every month, replace alkaline batteries twice a year, and replace the alarm after 10 years: mass.gov/info-details/s…
