Leaving devices charging overnight is particularly hazardous, as is using cheap electrical imports. Always check for the European safety mark and make sure all electrical equipment that you use at work is PAT tested.","p4":"Faults in electrical distribution and fuel supplies are another major hazard, accounting for one in ten of primary fires. Wiring, cables and plugs are the single most common source of ignition, closely followed by electrical or fuel line faults in vehicles.","p5":"Placing articles too close to a heat source, such as a fire or portable heater accounts for 7% of primary fires. That may not sound like much, but it equates to over 1,700 serious fires each year.","p6":"Despite the decline in smoking over recent years, a significant number of fires are still caused by the careless use of matches and smoking materials, such as cigarettes and lighters. And as candles have become more popular in the home, they’ve also become a more common cause of fire.","p7":"The top six causes we’ve focused on here account for over 80% of primary fires.
