About Electricity
Electricity is a vital resource that we all depend on daily. When not properly and safely used, however, the consequences can be dangerous and deadly. Each year improper energy use and electrical problems cause nearly 52,000 home fires, resulting in 450 deaths, 1,640 injuries and $1.2 billion in property damage, according to the national Fire Protection Association. Nearly 400 people in the united states are electrocuted each year.
