The dangers of charging electrical devices throughout the day
One of the things that must be taken into account when charging any electrical device is to adhere to what is contained in the user manual when purchasing any new electrical device, whether it is a paper user manual or the electronic page of the device manufacturer, in which all information and instructions related to safety and compliance with the device specifications are available, as Failure to comply with these instructions leads to a malfunction in the device. Here lies the danger and damage resulting from neglecting to implement these instructions, which consequently leads to fire accidents.
Overloading of electrical appliances
One of the risks that can occur when loading electrical appliances without taking into account the electrical voltage specified for them in the user manual is the occurrence of a short circuit in the device, which often leads to fire, especially during the summer when the temperature rises and is a contributing factor to the occurrence of fire.

The kitchen is considered the place most vulnerable to the outbreak of the first spark of fire, and most kitchen fires occur as a result of negligence, so the woman or chef must take into account safety requirements while cooking and using gas, including:
– The cylinder must be placed outside the home in well-ventilated places far from flammable materials.
– Use pipes and connections with quality specifications and inspect them to ensure there are no leaks.
– Ensure that there is a gas regulator and safety valve inside the kitchen.

Safety requirements for air extraction fans
It can be said that one of the most dangerous negative effects of leaving the exhaust fan running for a long time is the occurrence of fire, so we advise not to leave the air extraction fan running for a long time, as there are general tips related to the air extraction fan, which are:
– Perform periodic maintenance for the air extraction fan, by ensuring that it is cleaned periodically with a cloth and a substance that helps clean dust and fat deposits, especially for fans designated for the kitchen, where there is a lot of accumulation of fats and fumes resulting from the cooking process, and these fats and fumes occur with prolonged use and neglect of maintenance and continuous cleaning of the wings. The fan is one of the things that helps fires occur.
– How much care should be taken to avoid washing the fan with petroleum or highly flammable chemicals.
Smoke detector and its importance in avoiding fires
The smoke detector is an important means of protecting lives and property, as it responds to dangerous smoke and sends an early warning, so the General Administration of Civil Defense recommends installing it inside villas, houses, and apartments.
The importance of acquiring smoke detectors is evident because of their positive role in detecting the outbreak of fire early in its occurrence, sending warning sounds about the occurrence of danger, and reducing human and material losses, God Almighty willing. One of the advantages of providing smoke detectors is that they are cheap and operate with regular batteries available in All markets, shops or companies that sell safety equipment. These devices also emit sounds if the battery is running out so it can be replaced with a new one, and they work in the event of a power outage.
