As winter approaches, many people use space heaters to stay warm. Firefighters are advising people not to plug space heaters into power strips.
Advice for using a portable heater without risk.
Umatilla County Fire District #1 in Oregon recommends not connecting a heater to a power strip. These devices cannot handle the powerful electric flow that space heaters require, which can make them overheat or even catch fire.
