You speak to Firemen here in the UK and what is the number one cause of house fires? No, not hifi systems , but TV’s on standby."Smoking, unattended cooking equipment and dirty grill pans are the most likely things to cause a blaze, according to Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS). Overheating microwaves, overloaded electric sockets and in particular phones and laptops left charging for too long are also major causes of household fires."
