Recognize Danger Signs
In addition to general electrical fire safety, such as allowing ventilation for appliances, utilizing GFCI’s, checking cords for fraying and overloading, you can also monitor your home for possible warnings.
Before an electric fire occurs, several warning signs usually appear. Some of these are blown fuses, tripped circuit breakers, burning smells, discolored sockets, minor shocks when you touch an appliance, flickering lights, etc. Get to the root of the problem and consult an electrician.
