Publication: Quincy : National Fire Protection Association, 2019Physical description: 18 p.Notes: Sumario: Home electrical fires can start in wiring, electrical distribution systems, and lighting equipment, as well as in any equipment powered by electricity such as cooking, heating, office and entertainment equipment, washers and dryers, as well as electrical distribution or lighting equipment. To better understand if these types of fires can be prevented through code changes, equipment changes, and/or public education, this report splits home electrical fires into two groups, based on data from two separate data elements in the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS): 1. Fires in which electrical failure or malfunction is a factor contributing to ignition. 2. Fires involving electrical distribution and lighting equipment.
