Faulty wiring is the other common cause of fire accidents. If you are planning to give some wiring job, then ensure you give to the qualified technicians. That is because a simple mistake can lead to enormous losses. Leaving naked wires in open places increases the chances of causing a fire.  Some of the common things that lead to fire accidents in electrical equipment include leaving loose wires, overloading the plugs, running electrical cables under heavy furniture, and drawing too much current from a socket that delivers inadequate current. For instance, using an extension cord to power a device that uses more current than it can supply.

  • Candles

Lastly, candles are the other cause of fire accidents at homes. That can happen when a candle flame gets directed to things like a curtain by the wind.
