The National Fire Agency (NFA) is warning people to be careful about how they use electrical appliances during the current spell of cold weather.
The agency released a graphic showing how the improper use of electrical appliances could pose a safety risk.
Some of the things you should avoid include: leaving appliances plugged in when not in use; placing electrical power strips too close to a heat source; and placing flammable materials like quilts and clothing too close to a heater.
The NFA is urging the public to avoid these scenarios in order minimize the risk of a fire.
