I got home today and go upstairs. As soon as I went upstairs here was a strong smell of melt plastic (it smells like when someone uses a fleece straightener). The smell is in the corridor, my room, and my sister's room. I checked the outlets in our rooms and the upstairs hallway to see if it was something electrical but couldn't find anything. I get home at 5 and its now 9 and the smell is still here.

What could it be and could it be dodgy?
Answers:    Call your electric company and report this. They should send someone out this evening.
this happen to me once, it turned out there be paper caught surrounded by our vents and it burned up. as expected i got blamed for it cuz im a youthful guy but that's not the point...
