Electricity as a cause of fire
Never overload the electrical network with appliances.
Do not run electrical cables across floors, under carpets, or in high-traffic areas. Immediately unplug appliances if you notice an unusual smell or see sparks.
Using Heating Appliances
When using heating appliances, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Overheating, unusual smells, and sparks are signs that the appliance should be unplugged, replaced, or repaired. Unplug the appliance when it is not in use. Use protective covers to prevent burns from hot surfaces, especially if there are children in the home.
