What type of accident is easily preventable, yet accounts for 28,600 fires and $1.1 billion in property losses each year?
Electrical fires! In fact, fifty-three percent of residential fires involve electrical wiring, which is intricately hidden behind the faceplates on your light switches. Aside from flying sparks, electrical danger signs can be subtle. Performing a few simple tasks like tightening a ceiling fan or testing a faceplate’s temperature can mean the difference between fire prevention and fiery disaster.
