Charging devices overnight poses fire hazard for young people
A recent survey by the Finnish National Rescue Association (SPEK) reveals that 75% of young people charge their devices while sleeping, a practice that poses significant fire risks. Fires caused by electrical appliances are the most common type of household fire, and incidents involving battery-powered devices are on the rise.
Lauri Lehto, a fire prevention technology expert at SPEK, stresses the importance of safe practices when using electrical and battery-powered devices.
