Word of caution: reminder about heaters

Word of caution: reminder about heaters

As we move into cooler weather, some people may be using small space heaters. Please do not plug the heaters into surge protectors. Heaters need to be plugged straight into an electrical wall outlet. This is because a power strip doesn't have a high enough current flow to support the electrical needs of a space heater, causing it to overheat and possibly lead to a fire.
