Sparks = Fire!!!
The last thing you want is your house to burn down.
Winter is the time when fires from heaters are most likely to appear.
Things to watch out for:
1. Keep all heaters and candles away from curtains especially ones blowing in the wind.
2. Check to see if any leads have the wires exposed or are frayed.
3. Dark brown spots on electric blankets. These could indicate faulty wiring.
4. Close the fire curtain on fires that are sparking.
5. If you need to answer the phone turn the cooking off or check it regularly.
Things to NOT do:
1. Don't place clothing over heaters to dry. They will burn.
2. Don't use
faulty appliances.
3. Don't try to fix any faulty electrical appliance with the lead still plugged in.
4. Don't let your children play with candles or matches.
Teach your children that they shouldn't use matches. Only an adult should use them.
Be a good example to your children. If you do stupid things with fire they will do them.
Things to do:
1. Fit a smoke detector and replace the battery if it constantly beeps.
2. Call an
Electrician if any appliance, light fitting or anything electrical is faulty.
