More than 200 house fires in 2010 were caused by misusing electrical appliances, and in 2007 more than 40 people died.
Electrical Safety week has highlighted the dangers of overloading electrical sockets and misusing electrical appliances.
County Fire Officer, Steve McGuirk said “A fire in your home is devastating, but many of these fires are preventable. It is really important that people make sure their appliances are in good working order and are used safely. The majority of electrical fires start in the kitchen so we would ask people to be extra careful in that are especially.”
