Do you have extension cords plugged in right now? Remember, extension cords aren't meant for permanent use. They can overheat and cause a fire.

Move plugged-in devices closer to the outlet if possible. If you need an extension cord, use a smart plug to cut the power to the cord or unplug it when not in use.
