Check Your Home For
ELECTRICAL
FIRE HAZARDS
during
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL WEEK
One out of every 10 fires in Ontario is caused by the
misuse of electricity !
FUSES
Fuses are the safety valves in
your electrical wiring.
Fuses greater than 15 amperes
must not be used in ordinary
lighting and receptacle circuits;
as the conductors in these circuits
can safely carry only 15 amperes.
Never replace blown fuses with
pennies, washers, tin foil or over-
size fuses.
If 15 ampere fuses will not al-
low you to operate the lights and
appliances which are now con-
nected in a circuit, then this cir-
cuit is overloaded.
FLEXIBLE CORDS
Flexible cords must not be used
for permanent wiring, that is, to
make „permanent extensions to
circuits. These cords are not large
enough to safely carry as much
current as the permanent wiring
without becoming dangerously ov-
erheated.
Flexible cords create electrical
fire hazards when they are:
(a) bare or badly deteriorated;
(b) run under rugs;
(c) nailed to baseboards, door or
window frames, walls and ceil-
ings;
(d) run through partitions, walls
and floors;
(e) permanently connected to
permanent wiring by splices
• or joints;
(f) operating appliances — which
have heating elements such as
kettles, toasters, irons, rang-
ettes and heaters;
(g) used to provide multiple
branches and outlets from one
socket or outlet.
FIXTURES and
APPLIANCES
All fixtures and appliances must
be approved by the Canadian Stan-
dards Association. Check for:
(a) home-made and unapproved
fixtures and appliances;
(b) loose or improperly - made
joints and connections — these
may cause overheating;
(c) deteriorated wiring in fix-
tures — usually caused by
heat;
(d) wattage of lamps (light bulbs)
to high for fixtures — causes
excessive heating;
(e) deteriorated fixtures, denot-
ed by rust, bare wires, broken
sockets; '
(f) drop cords used to operate
irons, toasters and heaters, or
.other appliances.
If you receive an electrical shock
from any appliance, have it check-
ed immediately.
PERMANENT WIRING
Check for:
(a) bare or improperly -made and
taped joints and connections—.
loose electrical connections
may produce excessive heat;
(b) sparking switches;
(c) receptacles (wall plugs) that
heat up when in use;
(d) objects hung on open wiring;
(e) cables connecting water heat-
ers, oil burners, sump pumps,
dryers and other electrical
equipment, insecurely fasten-
ed, giving a poor ground;
(f) switches, receptacles and light
outlets, in the kitchen, base-
ment, bathroom, utility room
and garage not grounded;
(g) interference on radio or tele-
vision receivers—this may be
caused by poor electrical con-
nections in your wiring sys-
tem:
If you recognize any of'these hazards in your home,
ACT NOW! Call your Public Utility Commission
or a qualified electrics.
