Every year in Japan, more than a thousand people die from fires in their homes.

There are many causes of fires in everyday life, including fires caused problems with cooking or heating equipment, from gas stove fires and from faulty electrical plugs, sockets etc.

Other causes include cigarette butts, artificial fires, dry and windy air, dust or moisture in the gap between plugs and sockets, and so on.

Also, after years of use and deterioration of electrical appliances they may overheat and ignite. You should regularly check the security of your home appliances, electrical plugs, etc.
