Extension Cord Safety Tips!

Roughly 3,300 home fires start from extension cords every year. Most of these are preventable when cords are used correctly. Use the graphic above as a quick checklist before you plug anything in:

• Never daisy-chain cords (plug one into another)

• Match the cord to the job (indoor vs. outdoor, proper gauge for the length and amperage)

• Keep the ground pin intact and only use cords with UL, CSA, or ETL approval

• Inspect for damage every time and discard frayed or cracked cords

• Use GFCI protection outdoors

• Treat extension cords as temporary solutions—install more outlets if you’re relying on them long-term

A few minutes of checking cords can help protect your home and family. Share this with anyone who uses extension cords regularly so we can keep more Quincy homes safe. Friends Of Quincy Firefighters IAFF Local 792
