Power strip dangers

Posted

A fire Wednesday afternoon at a Gregory Mill road home illustrates the dangers of power strips, Bedford County Fire Chief Mark Thomas said. He’s holding the burned remains of a strip that sparked and ignited, spreading to and burning an aquarium. Further damage was limited to smoke and water. Firefighters responded to a report of a home “filled with smoke.” Names of the occupants were unavailable at press time. No injuries were reported.
