The Causes of Fire Damage

!: The Causes of Fire Damage

While some causes of fire are general and can occur anywhere, other causes are more specific for certain rooms.

General Causes of Fire

Electrical

Don't underestimate the fire risk from electricity just because there is no flame involved. The over warming of hot plugs and sockets and blown fuses may start a fire.

Smoking

Most cigarettes related fires start because the cigarette is not put out completely. Additional common causes include falling asleep with a cigarette and using improper ashtrays.

Candles

Even a tiny candle flame can have upsetting consequences. Many candle related fires start due to draughts that lead fire to catch burnable items and tilting candles that are not placed in suitable holders.

Room by Room Causes of Fire

The Kitchen

The kitchen contains many hazards that can cause fires. The common combination of open fire, grease, electricity, and water is very dangerous. Grease fire is a common cause for fires in the kitchen is and is usually caused by fry pans. This type is dangerous as it can set the whole kitchen on fire. Additional fires are dry cooking fires and oven fires. These types are easy to control and they are not likely to cause damage. Kitchen appliances may also cause fire if not maintained well.

Bedrooms

Bedroom fires are usually caused by misuse of electrical devices. Electrical fires can start due to overloading extension cords and the use of electric blankets and warmers with no lab-approval. Heaters are a concern during winter if they are recklessly placed near linen, clothes, and other flammable items

Attics, Basements and the Garage

Popular as storage areas these places usually contain fire hazards such as gasoline and other flammable liquids. Old clothes, papers and other combustible items are also hazardous and should be stored safely. Many of the electrical fire hazards are also located in these areas. Worn cords, electrical boxes and other signs of electrical trouble should be treated immediately.
Heating Devices and Fireplaces
These are planned to generate heat and may be hazardous if not maintained well. Operating the fireplace without a screen will allow sparks to fly into the room and cause fire. Other causes of fire are combustible items such as wallpaper, curtains, and clothing that are left without maintaining adequate clearance around the heater.

Heating up Inside the Sunbeam Electric Blanket

!: Heating up Inside the Sunbeam Electric Blanket

I have been a fan of electric blankets for a long, long time. I remember using them ever since I was young; I wasn't even married yet! By that time, although I always was very delicate to cold, there were times when I could do without an electric blanket. Nowadays, as years have passed and as I am approaching to an older age, I would prefer eating nothing all day rather than sleeping without my Sunbeam electric blanket! Yes, I'm both shy and proud to admit it but the truth is that I am addicted to my electric blanket!

Sunbeam electric blanket has a very special feature; it is equipped with special sensors that will detect cold parts of your body and will instruct the blanket to heat them immediately!

The blanket heats up very fast. Most of the times it will only take a few minutes for you to start feeling warmer than little birds inside their nest! Honestly, Sunbeam electric blanket will warm up a lot faster than you might have been used to with other electric blankets.

The blanket has a soft, extremely friendly, 100% acrylic fabric surface. I bought it in a light, white coloring but you can find it in just about any coloring scheme you would imagine.

One important advantage of this blanket is that you will not feel any wires/elements inside it. Sunbeam electric blanket feels almost exactly like a normal, everyday blanket does. This is achieved through what the manufacturer has named "ThermoFine Warming" technology. Being a simple citizen that I am, I can't really tell you much about how this technology works; what I can tell you however, is that it is really, really effective!

Some final notes now; the blanket comes with a 5 year guarantee and it has passed all the safety checks of course. For a large blanket, you will pay something close to 80 bucks; you can always get smaller sizes for less money. If you want to clean your blanket, there's nothing special you need to do; just clean it like you would clean any other blanket.

I would rate the Sunbeam electric blanket with a full 10/10. No, I'm not an easy to satisfy customer; the truth is that I am very demanding. In the case of Sunbeam electric blanket, I simply believe that this product is more than satisfying.
