Understanding Electrical Fires
Despite electrical fires being one of the most common causes of fire damage, property owners are still shocked that there are other dangers besides overloaded outlets. Some of the most common causes of electrical fires are:
Old Wiring: If your system is older than 30 to 40 years it’s time to have it inspected. Your inspector will let you know if your home is still up to code or not. If it isn’t, the threat of a fire increases.
Faulty Outlets: Faulty outlets may cause newer appliances to malfunction, resulting in a fire. These old outlets cannot withstand the power of the newer models.
Extension Cords: Extension cords are not meant to be used long term. They can overload your circuits, overheat, and cause a fire.
Light Fixtures: If you use a bulb that is higher wattage than the fixture can handle, it can overheat or melt the wiring creating a prime opportunity for a fire to spark.
How to Put Out an Electrical Fire
Knowing how to put out an electrical fire is crucial for safety:
- Cut Off the Power: If you’re in a safe area to do so, turn off the power to the area to prevent the fire from spreading.
- Use a Fire Extinguisher: Use a fire extinguisher designed for electrical fires. Never use water to extinguish an electrical fire as it can cause electrocution.
- Call 911: Contact the fire department immediately. Do not attempt to handle a fire on your own.
