00:00.040 --> 00:03.170
Yeah . Hello Fairchild is based . My

00:03.170 --> 00:05.281
name is Jason Mcknight and I'm zack ,

00:05.281 --> 00:07.503
we are your fire inspectors here at the

00:07.503 --> 00:09.503
base . What we're doing is going to

00:09.503 --> 00:11.670
show you today some of the issues that

00:11.670 --> 00:13.892
can happen if you overload one of these

00:13.892 --> 00:13.850
powers happen first . Jason is going to

00:13.850 --> 00:15.739
go from the stats that are pretty

00:15.739 --> 00:17.683
alarming , why we want you guys to

00:17.683 --> 00:19.572
avoid this . The most common fire

00:19.572 --> 00:21.517
safety efficiency found with power

00:21.517 --> 00:23.739
strips are high wattage appliances such

00:23.739 --> 00:25.794
as microwave ovens , refrigerators ,

00:25.794 --> 00:27.906
toasters and coffee pots plugged into

00:27.906 --> 00:29.961
them . And from 2014 to 2018 long we

00:29.961 --> 00:31.961
had 34,000 reporters for fires from

00:31.961 --> 00:34.017
those appliances into past trips and

00:34.017 --> 00:36.017
other electrical distribution . And

00:36.017 --> 00:38.072
annually these incidents resulted in

00:38.072 --> 00:41.080
470 deaths , 11,000 injury at $1.4

00:41.080 --> 00:43.350
billion dollars in damage . Another

00:43.350 --> 00:45.294
thing we find on our visits is you

00:45.294 --> 00:47.183
could have all your computers and

00:47.183 --> 00:49.517
everything plugged into one power strip ,

00:49.517 --> 00:51.628
get that space heater plugged in . So

00:51.628 --> 00:51.190
what are you gonna do ? You gonna plug

00:51.190 --> 00:54.400
that right into there Now you magically

00:54.400 --> 00:57.720
have more outlets . You can't do

00:57.720 --> 01:00.270
that . And while that may seem too

01:00.270 --> 01:02.270
convenient , just like an extension

01:02.270 --> 01:04.492
cord normally is it's one thing that we

01:04.492 --> 01:06.659
definitely don't want to do , what you

01:06.659 --> 01:08.603
need to do is contact your local c

01:08.603 --> 01:10.714
electric shop , put in the work order

01:10.714 --> 01:10.020
and ask for an additional outlet to be

01:10.020 --> 01:12.187
installed , your facility . Now enough

01:12.187 --> 01:13.687
talking , let's get to the

01:13.687 --> 01:13.680
demonstration . But first I would like

01:13.680 --> 01:15.860
to tell you guys do not try this at

01:15.860 --> 01:16.860
home ,

01:19.540 --> 01:21.360
yep . Mhm .

01:28.740 --> 01:32.340
Yeah . Yeah .

01:32.840 --> 01:36.830
Yeah mm . As you can see , it doesn't

01:36.830 --> 01:38.941
take much to overload the power strip

01:38.941 --> 01:41.052
or the extension cord . The resulting

01:41.052 --> 01:43.274
failure could lead to a fire or worse .

01:43.274 --> 01:45.274
So do us all a favor and go to your

01:45.274 --> 01:47.274
home or office . Check for any high

01:47.274 --> 01:47.020
waters appliances that may be plugged

01:47.020 --> 01:48.909
into your power strip . Make sure

01:48.909 --> 01:50.964
you're not using extension cords for

01:50.964 --> 01:53.131
permanent wiring and please don't data

01:53.131 --> 01:53.360
change as well .
