Extension Cord Fried

I use to work for the fire department.

Number one cause of house fires.

Candles.

Number two.

Cooking

Number three.

Extention cords run all over the house.
(Most often in a crack house, with garbage everywhere.)
Funny, my wife bought these cool wall fixtures for candles.
I insisted she throw them out.
No way im havinga fire 3 inches from a wall.

Cords are a necessary evil. Do your best to keep them short as possible and proper gauge for the load.
