Each year electrical fires claim the lives 485 people and injure approximately 2035 more. Many are caused by the misuse and the poor maintenance of electrical appliances, circuit overloads, incorrect wiring, old wiring, and extension cords.
Many home appliances that are most often involved in electrical fires are electric stoves and ovens, dryers, central heating units, televisions, radios and stereo systems. Circuit breakers and fuses should be the correct size current rating for their circuit to prevent any overloads.
