Is it safe to keep a Power Board in a wooden draw?

Question

(May be called a power strip or plugbar or distribution board)

Could it be a fire hazard if kept in a wooden draw while in operation?

Answer 1

some items such as mobile phone chargers do get hot as do power packs for things like cordless telephones. Power boards can also be dangerous when overloaded especially the cheap ones or old ones. Please do not do it. Have an extra power point fitted.
