According to Google (ah yes, the irony of tech tracking):

Here are some statistics about electrical fires:


  • In 2016, 0.02% of homes in the United States experienced an electrical fire.


  • In 2022, there were 26,100 electrical malfunction fires in residential buildings, resulting in 185 deaths, 850 injuries, and $1,492,400,000 in losses.


  • The leading causes of residential electrical fires are other electrical failure or malfunction (43%), unspecified short-circuit arc (23%), and short-circuit arc from defective, worn insulation (11%).


  • The risk of electrical fires increases during the winter due to the use of electric heaters.

Looks like they were all easily prevented by proper use of appliances and possibly visual inspection or observation of your circuit breakers and fuses.

Don't need soros tracking my electrical usage. No one needs to know about my fusion reactor experiments and time dilation device experiments powered by OGE...
