No Space Heater, why not?

About 80% of our fire projects are the result of a grill fire; who knew!? About 15% are electrical fires. Many of these complexes, regardless of how well maintained, have aluminum wiring and none of the fault-preventing devices we enjoy in current code. Space heaters are notorious for finding those faults. It usually is not the heater that fails but the wiring inside the wall, at the device supplying it. Normally in a bedroom where it’s a short hope to drapes of bed linen. Sometimes it’s better to wear a sweater to bed.
