Light switches that are hot
to the touch and lights that
flicker should be turned off
and evaluated by a
professional electrician as
soon as possible.
Three into three. If an
appliance has a 3-prong
plug, use it only in a 3-slot
outlet. Never force a 3
prong plug into a 2-slot
outlet or extension cord.
Use electrical extension
cords wisely. Don't overload
extension cords or wall
sockets. There are far too
many fires in the month of
December every year
because of improper
extension cord use for
Christmas tree lights.
Frayed wires can cause
fires. Replace all worn, old
or damaged appliance
cords and don't run cords
under rugs or furniture.
