Because you can spill water with nutrients (good conductor) and cause a short. Dangerous.

My steps are:
-cables not pinched, and run up off the ground whenever possible
-everything grounded
-new sub-panel with new breakers
-working on adding GFCI outlets for the lights
-all extension cords rated for 10% over max amps they will be carrying
-all timers rated higher too
-extinguishers close at hand
-smoke detectors in every stairwell
-lights hung with chain, not string
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Fire Prevention No, not the kind of 'fire' you'd expect to talk about on cannabis.com, but the kind that burns and kills. Many of us grow with lights that could be dangerous if they were to fall onto a carpeted surface or a piece of wood. I would imagine many of us also have our lights on while we're at school or work, especially in the veg stage, so what kind of steps does everyone take to make sure they don't come home to a burned out home?
