  3. Causes of Electrical Fires Outdated Electrical Panels Aging panels may fail to trip during overloads, increasing the risk of electrical fires. Damaged Appliances & Cords Frayed cords or faulty appliances can expose live wires, overheat, and cause sparks. Combustibles Near Electrical Sources Placing paper, cloth, or plastics near outlets or heaters can lead to quick ignition. Blocked Electrical Panel Access Storing flammable items around panels restricts access and heightens fire hazards. Poor DIY Electrical Work Improper home wiring or repairs can create overloaded circuits and dangerous faults.

  4. Causes of Electrical Fires Damaged Electrical Outlets Faulty or worn-out outlets can arc, overheat, and ignite nearby materials, making immediate replacement essential. Faulty Wiring Risks Old, damaged, or poorly installed wiring can overheat, spark, and cause hidden fire hazards inside walls. Overloaded Circuits & Power Strips Plugging too many devices into one outlet or strip can overheat circuits and trigger dangerous ignition. Light Fixture & Bulb Hazards Using bulbs with higher wattage than fixtures allow can overheat fittings and start fires. Misusing Extension Cords Using extension cords as permanent wiring, daisy chaining, running them under rugs, or using indoor cords outdoors can cause overheating and fires.
