Our homes are increasingly owning more electrical appliances, which, from one side, are necessary helpers, and from the other potential causes of fire. A fire can occur because of a device breakdown or a problem with the electrical system.For example, before Christmas a smoke and carbon monoxide sensor Nublu transmitted a fire alarm from one Tallinn apartment, where the fire hazard occurred because of a fault in the wire of a microwave oven. As it turned out, the owners were cooking food and for an unknown reason in
the microwave oven caused a short short short short circuit, causing flames and smoke. For fire to occur, not much is needed, so every kitchen should have a firefighting cloth and an extinguisher. If fat in the frying pan or any appliance is on fire,
an effective helper will be on hand. In the event of a small fire, it is possible to bring the flame under control on your own. The reason why your home should have a
fire extinguisher, and a fireproof cloth, is simple: in some some cases one is more effective, in some some the other. Fire retardant cloth, or fire retardant cotton, is suitable for extinguishing small fires – e.g., fired fat. It will also help
to stop the spread of fire if a small domestic appliance has caught fire. The Fireproof cloth allows the time to disconnect the current or, for example, use an extinguisher. Since faults in the electrical system (e.g., because of a lightning strike or old wiring) cannot be prevented by
a hundred percent,The best way to ensure your family feels safe is to use a smart smoke sensor and to use a smoke sensor andIt allows you to know quickly if there is a fire, even if no one is home. Unfortunately, every thing has its own life span, including every appliance. For example, there have been cases when
a vintage refrigerator suddenly fired. It is in such situations it is important to acknowledge the danger as quickly as possible. To know if your home’s electrical system is safe, it is required to conduct an electricity audit. The electrical system must be modern and safe. Old electrical systems and Soviet era electrical systems present a very large risk of fire! All work and checks related to
electricity must be performed by experts: “amateur” also could cause a fire. I’m sure you have at least sometimes in a panic tried to remember whether the iron had been turned off. And this is a perfectly sound thought, because numerous fires are started because of this cause. But do all appliances
always need to be unplugged when leaving the home? No: sometimes it can cause harm instead of benefit. Appliances that can easily be left plugged into the mains are, for example, a refrigerator, air heat pump, washing and dishwashing machines, water boiler, warm floor system, electric stove, television, router, digibox and computer. Permanent disconnection from the power could damage their electronics and shorten
the lifetime of service . Disconnect from the power toaster and aerofryer, for example. It is also not necessary to keep the plug of the charger in the socket: when the gadget is charged, disconnect it from the power socket.The charging device from the network. And always connect the charging device to the network first and only after
