Electrical Safety
40 per cent of accidental house fires are caused by electrical appliances and supply, Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service said.
- Keep all electrical appliances clean, follow the operating instructions and keep them in good working order
- Only use white goods machines such as washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers when you are at home and not asleep
- Don't overload extension leads or adapters
- Regularly check for frayed or worn cables and wires
