Or, when you have a powerhead plugged into wall. Make sure you can see the plug. I had one behind the side of my couch. Came home from camp, smelled electrical burnt. Water leaked inside cable and wicked all the way to the plug. ZZZAAAAAPPPPPPP

The house is mostly clear of smoke....the smell will probably linger a while.

luckily the carpet got wet around the bar, so it didn't fully engulf in flames. But the family had to vacate for a couple hours. Of course I wasn't home....
