flag Using extension cords for high-wattage devices like space heaters risks fire, experts warn.

flag Experts warn that using extension leads to power high-wattage appliances like space heaters, kettles, and microwaves poses a serious fire risk, especially in colder months. flag Overloading leads can cause overheating and electrical fires, as most are not rated for continuous high-load use. flag Authorities stress avoiding daisy-chaining cords, hiding leads under rugs, and using damaged or uncertified products. flag Safe practices include plugging heaters directly into wall outlets, checking appliance wattage against lead capacity, and consulting a qualified electrician for long-term solutions.
