This month we had two major incidents with fire, and I feel that we should spread the word.
We never ever had such issues but it seems that our old cable extensions are aging? The first incident was pretty stupid. As I was cleaning Mojojo second tank, I turned off the socket with an extension which I thought, (and it should be) where all his aquarium devices were hooked up. Another socket was for our cctv, which for some dumb reason Mojojo decided to unplug it and hook his tank heater on.
I took the heater out, placed it on the floor, not knowing it was slowly heating the flooring.
We woke up at night to our smoke alarm blaring and the aquarium hall filled with smoke! It took the heater nearly 12hour to start actually burning the floor. How insidious!!
Thank god for smoke alarm guys. Please, make sure your alarm is working after you read this!!
