Keeping South Wales electric fire safe

摘要

Firefighters along with their partners in the Electrical Safety Council raised awareness of one of the biggest causes of accidental house fires in the country. Electrical appliances have become a staple of modern life - from fridges and phones to toasters or the TV; it is hard to think of how we'd get by without a few electrically-powered essentials. However, last year there were 188 fires in dwellings that involved electricity. Faulty equipment or appliances caused 114 fires in dwellings, with 14 caused by faulty leads and the remaining 60 fires were related to the electricity supply.
