Easy ways to stop electrical fires in the house

Did you know that each year, there are 67,800 electrical fires in the home that take the lives of 485 citizens, injure 2,305 more, and cause $868 million dollars in property loss*? Some electrical fires are caused by lightning and faulty appliances, but considerably a lot more are caused by old wiring, misuse of extension cords, and overloaded circuits. In fact, non-code wiring (perhaps done by do-it-your-selfers) causes twice as many fires as electrical appliances. While it is usually best to have any electrical work done by a licensed electrician, there are a lot of things you can do around the home to help keep your family safe.

This article describes easy steps you can take to prevent electrical fires in your residence and prevent property damage and potential injury.

Easy to remember stats to think about

• December is the time of year when a lot of electrical fires tend to occur.
• Almost all electricity fires begin in the bedroom.
• During winter, deaths due to electrical fires are much higher. This is usually due to the increased amount of indoor activities, increased lighting needs, heating, and appliance use.
• In city areas, bad wiring is the cause of over 33% of house electrical fires.
• The home appliances most involved in residential electrical fires are central heating units, electric stoves, dryers, televisions, radios, and stereo equipment.

These are some easy steps you can take to help stop electrical fires in the home or business

• Carefully Consider any Do-It-Yourself electrical project. It is definitely safer to have any electrical work done by a certified electrical contractor.
• NEVER run an extension cord under a area rug! The foot and chair traffic across the rug will over time slice through the cord, causing an immediate fire hazard.
• Small space heaters are the cause of a lot of fires. Keep clothing, draperies, and any combustible material at least three feet away from space heaters at all times.
• Always check all lamp cords, extension cords regularly, and look for signs of overheating, frayed insulation, or bent prongs. Always replace all worn or damaged electrical cords immediately.
• Routinely check all of your appliances, especially where the cord attaches, and look for signs of damaged wiring.
• Never let children play with or near electrical appliances such as space heaters, hair dryers, or irons.
• Never force a 3 prong plug into a two prong outlet.
• Never overload extension cords or outlets.
• If you find a light switch that is hot to the touch, or the lights flicker when using the switch, call a licensed electrician and replace it at once.
• Regularly check any electrically powered tools. Replace any tool that gives off sparks, smoke, or small electrical shocks, or overheats.
• ‚Install and regularly check smoke alarms.
• Practice a home escape plan in case of fire.

By following these straightforward steps you can help make sure your family and your home is safe from electrical fires.

Electric Chair $90.81 Execution by electrocution (usually referred to as the electric chair or simply the chair after its method of implementation) is an execution method originating in the United States in which the person being put to death is strapped to a specially built wooden chair and electrocuted through electrodes placed on the body. This execution method has been used only in the United States and, for a period of several decades, in the Philippines (its first use there in 1924, last in 1976). The electric chair has become a symbol of the death penalty; however, its use is in decline. Historically, once the person was attached to the chair, various cycles (differing in voltage and duration) of alternating current would be passed through the condemneds body, in order to fatally damage the internal organs (including the brain). The first jolt of electrical current was designed to cause immediate unconsciousness and brain death; the second one was designed to cause fatal damage to the vital organs. Death was frequently caused by electrical overstimulation of the heart.

Rickenbacker Electric 12 (Hardcover) $36.35 The definitive history of the world`s most famous 12-string electric guitar. When the Byrds recorded their hit version of Dylan`s "Mr. Tambourine Man," they popularized a new sound in pop music: the electric 12-string guitar. Rickenbacker is the guitar maker that brought the electric 12-string to market and has since been almost single-handedly responsible for establishing what such a guitar should do. The California company gave one of its earliest 12-strings to George Harrison of the Beatles on the group`s first tour of the United States in 1964. He immediately used it live and in the studio and showed off the sound of electric jangle to the rest of the world. This book tells the story of those heady days in the `60s, of the competitors who tried and failed to match the sound, and of the instrument`s continuing production by Rickenbacker and use by many modern guitarists. Complete with high-quality photos and exclusive interviews with many of the 12-string`s leading players, this is the best guide yet to the history of the sound of jingle-jangle.
