What are the causes of electrical cord fires?
When electricity in the form of lightning strikes wood, the temperature is so high that combustion is almost instantaneous. In Homes electricity is carried by wires and to an appliance using a Plug. 1. If there is extremely small gap between the Plug rod and receptacle in the socket the sparks are formed. If there is any object that can catch fire then a fire can be caused. 2. Most of the wires that carry current are coated with Plastic that is normally Fire retardant. When current passes the wire gets heated and as ambient temperatures changes a poor quality plastic an get hardened and then crack. This causes sparks to be created between the wire and the wall. IF wall is not Fire retardant then fire can ensue. Some times the plastic itself starts burning and then comes in contact with wooden or fire hazard material and then fire can break out.
What are the causes of fire in electrical circuits?
Overloading the circuit or a device like a power strip will cause the wiring to heat up at it's weakest point and can result in fire, it can also cause insulation to melt resulting in an electrical short.
What is a splice box?
A splice box is the same terminology as a junction box. The function of a junction box is to suppress the spread of fire. In an electrical system the most likely spot for a fire to start is where wires are connected together. Loose connection of joined wires will create a resistance point. Over time with the current flowing through the connection it will heat and cool. This increases the resistance. Without repairs to this situation there will come a time when this heat will reach a combustible temperature. Depending on the type of junction box, it will suppress the spread of this fire by cutting off or limiting the oxygen supply to the fire. If the wire connection splice was in an open wall, adjacent to combustible products, the fire could spread to wall studs and then combustion could overtake the whole building.

What was used to heat and light before electrical energy?
Before electrical energy, heating and lighting were achieved using fire, candles, oil lamps, and gas lamps. Fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, and oil lamps provided heat, while candles and gas lamps were used for lighting.
