Q&A: Is it dangerous to hang curtains in front of an electrical outlet?

Question by boardposting: Is it dangerous to hang curtains in front of an electrical outlet?
Is it dangerous to hang long curtains in front of an electrical outlet, where the curtains may touch the outlet? I have heard that there is a danger of fire, because a spark given off by the outlet could catch fire to the curtains if they are near or touching.
