My Neighborhood Watch #66 - Reporting Events Around us
Hi Steem4Nigeria friends
Today I want to report an incident that happened around me to my friends, a few nights ago when I was hanging out at a coffee shop while writing a post for me to upload on steemit suddenly I got news from a friend of mine that near the coffee shop we were hanging out there was a house on fire.
That night I did not go straight to the scene to see the fire because I was busy with the work I was doing. All I could see on the street was a fire engine passing by in a hurry to put out the fire in the burning house.
The next day, when I went to the front of the house, I saw with my own eyes that the house had burned down and had been surrounded by police lines.
Because I was curious, I immediately looked for information about what caused the house to burn down, as a result of the information I got from a trusted source that the cause of the house burning down was because there was a short circuit in the electrical wires in the house and caused a burst of fire.
The short-circuited electric wire came from an electric cable that was forgotten to be unplugged from the power outlet and when the short circuit occurred the homeowner was outside the house.
When the owner returned home he saw that there was already a large fire in his house and immediately called the fire department. Luckily the house did not burn down because the building was made of concrete which could block the fire from spreading quickly.
There were no fatalities in this incident, but the homeowner still suffered many losses, from this incident it can remind us that we should be more careful in maintaining the electricity in our homes.
We must check the condition of the cables or anything related to electricity regularly in our homes, and we must also always make sure the stove in our homes is completely off when we are not at home because that is also very dangerous and can cause a fire.
