The Weird and Wonderful
And last but not least, there are some household items that have probably never crossed your mind as possible fire risks. For example, black shoe polish contains charcoal dust, mothballs are very flammable, and ping pong balls will also ignite easily if exposed to fire.
And the combination of silly string and party candles could prove lethal if the two come into contact. Most household fires happen because people are careless or don’t realize the risks.
By taking a few simple precautions and understanding the nature of your everyday household items, you’re less likely to suffer a house fire.
