Figuring Out Electrical Fires

Fire prevention week was last week, so we may be a bit late with this, but in its spirit we have some electrical fire information that may illuminate the way you do business- or maybe it’s just some extra info for your clients.

And many electrical fire start because people plug in too much into one outlet, particularly when they plug in more than one appliance that heats up at a time.
