The #1 Cause of House Fires Is Already In Your Home

Right now, something is plugged in somewhere in your home that could burn it to the ground — and it’s not what you’d expect. It isn’t bad wiring in the walls or some freak accident. Most house fires start quietly, with something you walk past every single day and never think twice about. In this video we count down the 10 things in your home most likely to start a fire — old electric blankets, dryer lint, cheap lights, space heaters, knockoff chargers, overloaded power strips, worn outlets, hidden cords, daisy-chaining — all the way to #1, the one that’s almost certainly running in your house right now, that nearly everyone is guilty of. None of these are expensive to fix. The hard part is just knowing they’re there. �� A quick note — the whole house, room by room, is written up in my book Home Hazard.
