This month we're continuing with our high profile
electrical safety campaign, visiting supermarkets across the region
and promoting easy to follow safety tips on our website and social
networking pages.
Over the last month alone firefighters have attended two serious
fires involving dishwashers in Ruabon and Connah's Quay.
We attend around 470 accidental fires in dwellings each year and
electricity or electrical items are responsible for over 300 of
these fires. Around 90 of these fires are due to electrical faults
- but the majority are caused by misuse of the electrical
items.
It's important to operate appliances according to the
manufacturers' instructions and to check electrical items and leads
for signs of damage or wear. So many residents use old or dangerous
electrical items and overload their sockets, causing a potentially
fatal fire risk.
