Fires of Electrical Origin

The Warren Group can help you investigate fires of an electrical origin.  Every year, electrical and electronic fires cause loss of life and economic loss in the millions.

Electrical fire hazards are all around us.  Think about all the electrical and electronic equipment and tools we have in the home and workplace: 

• refrigerators,
• freezers,
• washers,
• dryers,
• microwave ovens,
• televisions,
• stereos,
• computers,
• space heaters,
• electric blankets,
• power tools,
• lamps,
• timers,
• cell phone chargers,
• blowers,
• curling irons,
• battery chargers,
• telephone handsets,
• aquarium tanks...the list goes on and on.

Electrical and electronic systems can be compromised by:

• poor design,
• manufacturing defects,
• poor installation,
• overloading,
• deterioration,
• heat,
• moisture,
• weather, or poor maintenance. 

Also, sometimes, misuse of equipment can lead to an electrical or electronic failure which can result in a fire.
