Rags soaked with chemicals is always a source of fire risk. Especially high risk of fire, if the fabric is stained with machine oil or stain. Under the action of oxygen contained in the air, chemicals on the tissue are oxidized and thus can be heated to a temperature capable of igniting rags.

To protect your home, garage or workshop, store rags soaked in various chemicals in special containers filled with water and a tight lid. Ideal option would be the immediate disposal of such debris immediately after use.

If you store batteries in the drawers along with the different small things, the big risk. The power source may come into contact with metal objects that could short-circuit its contacts. Thanks to this random conductor may short circuit parts causing a fire things in the drawer and full-scale fire.

To exclude this option can be time disposing of unwanted batteries and storing them in special plastic boxes, precluding the touching of the contacts random items. In a pinch, you can just glue the poles of the power source the pieces of tape, usually that is enough for reassurance.

According to statistics, the Pets play a significant role in the occurrence of home fires. Yes, the favorite dog or cat may knock over a burning candle or throw a towel on a heater, but more often problems arise because of the passion of animals to play with different wires and cords.

Biting wires and cables are dangerous not only for the pet, but also for you and your property. So, seeing the pet an unhealthy interest in the wires, be engaged in its education.

If you plan to put in the cartridge, designed for 40 watt light bulb 60 watt, you risk causing dangerous overheating of the appliance. The temperature increase can melt the insulation on wires and cause a short circuit and, with high probability, the fire.

Dryer machine, which follows the relief of a person's life, sometimes it may complicate. A source of danger in this equipment is a filter in which accumulated a significant amount of dust and lint. If you forget to clean this part of the drying machine, then get into the high risk zone.

When heated the debris in the filter may ignite and cause a fire. Regular cleaning of the filter from contamination, for example with a sticky roller for clothes, completely eliminates the risk of becoming a victim of accidental ignition of the appliance.

This may sound strange, but ordinary household dust is dangerous, from the point of view of fire. Of course, we are not talking about the dust that accumulates on the cabinets and bookshelves, and the one that is going to electrical appliances and particularly inside them.

Danger is also Underfloor electric heating, if a long time no one cleaned them from dirt. Prevention in this case is extremely simple — just clean and don't forget to dust the instruments, especially under the covers and screens.

Experts in the field of fire safety is not recommended to use extension cords on a permanent basis. Generally, these devices are created for temporary solutions to the problems with electricity supply, not for permanent connection thereto of electrical appliances.

Including one extension cord of some electrical appliances, you can create significant congestion and, as a result, a short circuit in the network. If you are sorely lacking connection points for household appliances and power tools, invite a qualified electrician to install additional outlets.

Like any other device connecting to the network, an electric blanket is a source of potential danger. Never cover these blankets with clothes or other things, and don't let them sleep on pet.

Using the instrument, always turn it to minimum power, and after the need for it disappears — immediately disconnect from the network. Should I remind you that attempt to repair such appliances is strictly prohibited.
