30,000 Homes Burn Each Year—Will Yours Be One of Them?

4.Water and Electricity Don’t Mix

In kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where water and electricity are in close proximity, the risk of electrical shock is much higher. For example, if an appliance like a hairdryer or toaster falls into a sink or bathtub full of water, it can result in a fatal electric shock. Always ensure your electrical appliances are kept dry, and make sure your hands are dry before touching anything electrical in wet areas.
