Space heater
Notes:
- Space heaters and other mobile heating units are the second cause of house fires.
- Two reasons: 1) placing the heating unit close to flammable material; 2) leaving the space heater unattended – especially at night when using these units while you sleep.
- Best prevention is limiting the use of coil-space heating units and never leaving a unit unattended.

Electrical
Notes:
- Overloaded or improper wiring is another leading cause of house fires – especially in older homes where the wiring may be old and deteriating.
- You need to inspect your wiring and the number of connections plugged into sockets – a few too many can start a small fire behind the walls.
- Likewise if you have rodent infestation, some rodants do chew on wiring that can expose live wire behind walls.
