⚠️ DAMAGED ELECTRICAL CORDS FIRE SAFETY
Frayed or damaged wires can arc and ignite nearby materials.
🔥 WHY IT’S DANGEROUS
Even a small cut exposes the wire inside.
⚠️ This can cause:
• Electrical arcing (sparks)
• Overheating
• Fire starting on nearby surfaces
🚫 “It’s just a slight cut… I can still use it.”
This is where fires begin.
Small damage can quickly turn into a serious hazard—especially under load or heat.
🚨 WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Sparks igniting curtains, wood, or furniture
• Short circuit leading to fire
• Electric shock risk
✅ SAFETY ACTION
✔ Stop using damaged cords immediately
✔ Replace—don’t tape or patch
✔ Avoid overloading outlets
✔ Keep cords away from heat and sharp edges
💡 REMEMBER
If the wire is exposed, the risk is real.
