Space heaters need air conditioner strength extension cords when necessary. NOT those little brown ones. No wires under rugs. Friction wears down the wire and a fire starts.

This is a reminder to all Bronx residence, if you live in a rented apartment, and there is a fire, the landlord is not responsible for any of your possessions as a victim of a fire please carry renters insurance. This protects your personal property and they will put you up in a hotel until you find a place to live it’s inexpensive insurance for a year. It is well worth it to protect yourself in the event of a fire.
