Isn't it against the NEC and the fire code to stack power strips? We
all do it, but isn't it against code?

The fire marshal that regularly inspects our building will cite us if he
sees an extension cord in use - even temporarily - or sees a temporary power
tap/surge suppressor connected to another.

I was dinged for power strips connected to a cube tap. I don't have
the citation handy, but I looked it up at the time and it was
definitely against code.
