Common Causes of Fire Accidents at Home
Cooking equipment
Cooking equipment such as pots and pans can overheat and cause a fire. Most of the time it occurs when cooking is left unattended.
Flammable liquids
Flammable liquids in the home or garage such as petrol, kerosene, or methylated spirits can be a fire threat if not kept away from heat sources.
Smoking
A cigarette can burst into flames if it comes into contact with flammable materials, such as furnitures, papers, rugs.
Electrical equipment
Electrical appliances with a frayed cord, overloaded power point, extension cords and faulty wiring can cause a fire from the overuse of electricity.
Children
Kids can cause a fire out of curiosity, to see what would happen if they set fire to an object. Keep any matches or lighters out of reach of children, to avoid any curiosity turned disaster.
Heating
Heating systems such as portable heaters coming in contact with flammable objects such as furniture, curtains, laundry, clothes, and even yourself. Uninspected and regularly not maintained furnaces can also cause a fire.
Barbeques
Barbeques should always be used away from the home, tablecloths, or any plants and tree branches. It should be regularly maintained and cleaned and checked for any gas bottle leaks before using it to avoid any fire accident.
Lighting
Lampshades and light fittings can build up the heat if they are very close to light globes. Lamp bases can become a hazard if they are able to be knocked over easily, and so should be removed if they are.
