Day 23 – The Fire That Started in the Socket
Yaw came back from town to a disturbing sight.
Smoke billowing from the window.
Neighbours shouting.
Flames licking the ceiling of his room.
Cause?
A phone charger left plugged in overnight.
It overheated. Sparked.
Curtains caught fire.
Within minutes, everything was gone.
Electrical safety starts with simple, smart habits.
