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

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 droughts that lead fire to catch burnable items and tilting candles that are not placed in suitable holders.
