Post by Apprentice Community Safety Advisor Bethany Pearson:

During a recent visit I removed 13 cube adaptors from within one house!

As you all should know, we don't like cube adaptors (even more so if they aren’t fused) so to discover these 13, that were also plugged into long adaptors, would be enough to give anyone in the fire service a heart attack!

To avoid any temptation of using them again, the man asked if we could remove them from his home.

I challenge anyone to beat our record!

Don’t forget:

1.    If you have cube adaptors get them removed! (long adaptors are a lot safer)

2.    Anything that produces its own heat NEEDS its own socket

3.    Do not plug adaptors into other adaptors (a plug socket is only designed to take 13amps)
