Do not leave behind the heating appliances running such as hair straighteners, irons, etc. that could trigger the fire due to overheating of wires or short-circuiting. Always make sure to switch off such appliances before leaving the house.

Be cautious about using heaters near certain fabrics

Don’t use portable heaters and candles near furnishing that are made of synthetic fabrics such as curtains, mattresses sofas, and so on. These materials are quick to catch fire from heaters or melting candles. The smoke from heaters is considered common in winters when people sit too close to heaters while wearing fabrics like woolen sweaters that catch fire quickly. It is also common that people to leave behind candles burning without anyone looking over them. In case of a fall of a candle or closeness to curtains or carpet, fire incidents happen.

You can identify the electrical outlets that need immediate replacements if they are over-heated, emitting smoke or sounds, have frayed wires, or cause fluctuation in the power supply in the home.

Kitchen Fires

Kitchen fires are considered to be more common and deadlier than others. Never leave the kitchen if you have something cooking on the stove. Especially if you are frying items, the chances of fire become relatively higher. It is the presence of certain elements in the kitchen such as oil, gas pipelines, electronic appliances, etc that lead to a quick and deadlier spread of fire in the house.
