How to prevent household appliance fires
Immediately fix appliances or lamps that sputter or spark in any way or give you a shock when operated.
Keep appliances away from wet areas, especially in the kitchen, bathroom, basement, and garage.
If an appliance has a three-prong plug, never force it into a two-prong outlet or extension cord.
Also, be wary of torn/significantly beat up extension cords. Check your wiring on a regular basis.
