I have 6 4-way power extensions in my home office. Was a little
worried about it so my wife asked the local fire station officer to
check it out. I was a little surprised when he said it was perfectly
safe and that he had seen MUCH worse. The only thing he didn't like
was the old-style brick 3-way adapter I was also using, which has
since been retired.

What was even more surprising was that he replaced a couple of smoke
detectors with 5 new 10-year detectors FOR FREE and told me they would
be back in 8 or 9 years to replace them all FOR FREE. Now that is what
I call a service! [sorry, getting a little off topic]
