5 Common Causes Of Fire Outbreak In Your Home
People die every day, or are seriously injured – in addition to losing their property – due to 5 common imprudences:
1. Cell phone overheating and use of pirated chargers
There are dozens of internet news from fires caused by overheating of mobile devices, often caused by the use of an incompatible or pirated charger.
Experts say that if the device is overheating and the battery voltage fluctuates too much, it needs to be taken to a technician. The appliance should never be charged under such conditions, nor be exposed to high temperatures.
It is important to keep the appliance away from flammable and combustible products while charging. The ideal is to load it on surfaces such as glass or granite. Never on the bed or wood.
2. Gas cylinder inside the house
Many families insist on keeping the gas cylinder inside the house without giving due importance to the risk of leakage and explosion.
The main guidance given to avoid accidents is to install the canister outside the house in an airy place. The installation must be done by a specialized professional, with materials approved. The cylinder cannot be crushed or rusted. Never use a lighter or match to check for leaks.
3. Cigarette
