IT was encouraging to read your recent report about the young lady who dealt so ably with a domestic fire (Malvern Gazette, July 28).
Such fires seem to recur with increasing frequency, the probable reason being that much modern domestic electronic equipment remains partly live internally even when nominally "off" and can still overheat.
Unless you can find a technical friend it is a wise precaution to remove the mains plug from the mains socket when putting the equipment away.
