What are the Causes of Electrical Fires?
Electrical fires are devastating and can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
-
Faulty electrical outlets and appliances: Worn or frayed cords, overloaded outlets, and appliances with damaged insulation are all potential fire hazards.
-
Improper use of extension cords: Extension cords should only be used for temporary purposes and should never be overloaded.
-
Overcrowded electrical circuits: Too many appliances plugged into a single circuit can cause a fire.
-
Defective wiring: Old or damaged wiring can create a fire hazard.
-
Lightning strikes: Lightning can strike electrical wires and cause a fire.
