The 5 Most Common Causes of House Fires and How To Avoid Them

House fires are anyone’s worst nightmare. Most people who’ve had their houses affected by fire can barely believe the amount of damage they can do. Taking extra steps to prevent them happening is on any sane person’s To Do list. Here are the most common causes of house fires.

1. Cooking and hot oil. These are truly dangerous sources of serious fires. They occur mainly in kitchens, barbecues and other areas where there are a lot of additional flammable materials or electrical fittings around. It’s important to have these areas clear of obvious danger points, preferably with easily accessible cutoffs for the gas or electricity.  

Very important: Kids and hot cooking materials. The most horrifying, tragic and much too common causes of fire involve children getting terribly burned while handling flammable cooking materials. The materials spill, ignite on hot surfaces like cooking elements and create major fires. The only way to avoid these situations is to make sure they never happen. Keep kids away from any cookery situation where there are clear risks. 

2. Matches and lighters around children. Matches, lighters and things like pilot lighters and firelighters have to be off limits for kids. They should be kept inaccessible to children at all times, and a clear, no-arguments set of rules must be enforced.

3. Cigarettes. Cigarettes burn for periods of time, and can provide enough heat to start serious fires. Smoke outside, or only in places where there are no flammable surfaces or materials around.   

4. Electric heaters near combustible objects. Electrical heaters, particularly bar radiators, can easily burn down a house all by themselves. Heaters should never be within one metre of any flammable material. They should also never be covered by anything, or left running unattended. 

5. Electrical wiring and Appliances. Electrical Appliances contain a lot of safeguards these days, but like house wiring, they can deteriorate and become risks. 

The basic rules are:

• Do not use any old or suspect electrical appliances. If an Appliance is difficult to turn on or off, or is on when it should be off, either the switch or the wiring is deteriorating. Get these appliances unplugged and out of the house immediately.
• Frayed cords, exposed plugs or wires are dangerous. Exposed wires are very common causes of fires. Do not use any appliance in this condition. Throw out the appliance, or get it properly repaired.
• Any sign of malfunction in an electrical appliance is dangerous. Sparks, noises or smells are the warnings. Don’t even think about using the appliance, because they’re also often electrocution hazards. Replace it, ASAP.
• Never ignore any unusual behavior related to mains power. Any flicker, fuse blowout, or sudden circuit breaker effect should be investigated. A simple leaky roof can cause a house fire by getting water onto internal wiring. Be suspicious, and call an electrician immediately. It’s a bit cheaper than buying a new house.

Cheap Thrills, Vol. 1 $15.98 Beneath the suitably massive, trashy-looking, superhero-sized letters of the title — which create the somewhat misleading if perhaps not unintentional impression of a disposable mass-market club comp — Cheap Thrills, Vol. 1 promises to provide “The Sound of the U.K.’s Leading Dance Label: A Mix of Ghetto Bass, House, Dubstep, Electro, B-More Club and Bassline.” The accuracy of the first claim may be up for debate, but there’s no question that this compilation is every bit as wide-ranging, heavy-hitting, and fist-poundingly, well, thrilling as advertised. Offering no shortage of sirens, fidgety electro breaks, and gloriously corny vocal interludes, and veering wildly (sometimes within a single track) from the grittiest, rawest throbbing dubstep bass to the glossiest, unabashedly poppy stadium-trance synths with no regard for the niceties of subgenre demarcations, the only constant among these tracks — apart from their compulsive, beats-forward danceability — is their utter lack of restraint. It’s an approach to dance music that’s been sorely underexploited since the big beat heyday of the late ’90s, and the lack of subtlety here is marvelously refreshing, particularly since it never comes at the expense of accessibility and tunefulness. Effectively a showcase for the imprint of the same name headed up by DJ/producer Joshua Harvey (aka Hervé, the Count, Action Man, Speaker Junk, etc., etc.), who has his hand as producer, remixer, or otherwise in nearly half of these tracks, Cheap Thrills is culled from the label’s first two years (2008-2009) of output, with eight additional exclusive cuts thrown in. Only ten tracks overlap (sometimes in remixed form) between the two discs (the first is unmixed, the second a relentlessly high-energy DJ mix by Hervé — obviously each has its place and purpose, but the mix is unquestionably the best way to experience this material), which means there are a generous 25 distinct tracks included across the 35 cuts. The quality remains impressively high throughout (though even the considerable variety may not stave off listener fatigue over two-plus hours of both discs), but definite standouts include Fake Blood’s bouncy, pouncy “Fix Your Accent,” Jack Beats’ cannily deployed dubstep wobbles on both “U.F.O.” and “Labyrinth,” the pounding filter-house of His Majesty André’s “Puppets,” and the cartoonish “tribal” drums and incessant builds of Hervé and Jack Beats’ “Rainstick.” ~ K.

John Cage: 44 Harmonies From Apartment House 1776; Cheap Imitation $27.98 For most of his career, American composer John Cage did not much care for the thirds and sixths that form the building blocks of the majority of Western music. Yet Cage stood for the very idea that all sounds were acceptable in music — what did he have against good, old-fashioned traditional harmony? Arnold Schoenberg once warned Cage that if he didn’t get a grip on harmony, he would always be “butting his head against the wall,” a condition that, in 1934, Cage was happy to accept. However, by 1969 either the wall, or his head, was getting too a bit hard, as Cage realized he was going to a lot of trouble creating works that were enormously complex, impractical and had little lasting value. With Cheap Imitation (1969) for solo violin, Cage made a breakthrough, merely through “decomposing” parts of a work he’d long loved — Erik Satie’s cantata Socrate. Irvine Arditti and the Arditti Quartet’s two-disc set Cage: 44 Harmonies from Apartment House 1776; Cheap Imitation on Mode Records is an expertly played examination of this significant transitional period in Cage’s development. Apartment House 1776 was a large “circus” created for the American Bicentennial, being Cage’s vision of a 1776 apartment house with different rooms representing the various residents inside. The “44 Harmonies” occupied just one of these rooms, but as with the parts in Cage’s Concert for piano and orchestra (1958), any single element in Apartment House 1776 can be singled out independently. Irvine Arditti has arranged the 44 Harmonies for string quartet, and in this medium it works extremely well. In music consisting of partly “decomposed” eighteenth century American hymn tunes, the quartet sounds like one large violin that is missing a string or two. The harmonies are pleasant, naked, and devoid of a conventional context; silences are frequent. This music is more potholes than road, and its lack of forward progression will prove maddening to some. Nevertheless, others will appreciate the work’s ethereal emptiness, and it makes for a lovely background element to studying or reading. Lasting a whopping 103:26, 44 Harmonies from Apartment House 1776 takes up the whole first disc and most of the second, but the second disc is filled out with a fine solo performance of Cheap Imitation by Irvine Arditti in all its haunting, ghostly whiteness. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis , Rovi Performers: Irvine Arditti – Violin

Clean Cheap Heat $150 This work traces the development of residential natural gas markets in the United States from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. It examines how social, economic, and technological factors interrelated to bring a relatively new energy source from obscurity to general acceptance by the population. The author credits the appearance of particular appliances which helped spawn natural gas use, notes legislative developments such as the Natural Gas Act of 1938 and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, and shows the various effects of regulation and price changes on the market. The author also demonstrates the use of a general method for performing a regression analysis when the historical data are poorly measured. This study will be of interest to energy economists, econometricians, and industry specialists, as well as economic and social historians.
