• carbon on contacts due to arc burn can also act as a resistance and create fire
  • burned wires must be also snipped or much better, replaced to avoid electric fire.

      This drives me crazy! Every apartment I’ve lived in has had a shortage of outlets in the main areas. But meanwhile, my mom’s apartment has EIGHT sets of outlets in her living/dining area. Sixteen total outlets in that room. 4 pairs in the kitchen. It’s amazing, I dunno how she got so lucky.
