#Electrical hazards

This is BB and Casper. They're our boys. Like brothers they roughhouse and bicker and ultimately love each other. They are also very lucky to be safe and sound!

Last Friday, the shed right next to their enclosure caught fire. We were all inside at the time. A neighbor we didn't know helped contain the fire early by calling 911 and bringing over her hose when ours melted.

Then the fire department came and rushed us off the property. We only had time to secure the cats already in the house. When they finally let us back in, we found BB and Casper hiding in the enclosure behind an old mattress - scared, but safe.

We should have had cat carriers ready to evacuate all of them, but this was all totally new to us. So my first PSA is to make sure you have carriers or leashes for all of your pets. Here's a useful link to read about pet disaster preparedness.

Here's the second PSA. Despite the heat of summer, do not use an extension cord to hook up an air conditioner.

That's how our shed caught on fire. My cousin did the same thing and melted his extension cord. If you do try this, do your research first, and at least make sure the amperage of the cord matches with the amperage of the air conditioner.

Here's a link for that research. And here's a news segment that talks about how common it is for this mistake to lead to fires (and a few ways to prevent it).

We owe so much to our neighbor, the fire department, and really the whole street that came out to watch and support us while we waited for the fire department to do their thing. I cannot express how eternally grateful I am that the fire only burned a small area, and everyone, including BB and Casper, is safe and happy.

Shockingly Dangerous: Identifying Electrical Hazards In The Workplace!

An electrical hazard refers to any potential danger or risk of harm to people or property caused by electricity. Electrical hazards can be present in various forms, such as exposed electrical wires, faulty equipment, inadequate grounding, or improper use of electrical tools. Subsequently, it can result in electrical shocks, burns, fires, explosions, and even death. Electrical shocks can cause muscle spasms, loss of consciousness, and cardiac arrest. Burns can vary and range from minor to severe and can be caused by electrical current passing through the body or from exposure to heat generated by electrical equipment. Besides, electrical fires can spread quickly and cause extensive damage to property and harm to people.

5 Electrical Risks in Indian Residential Areas and How to Prevent Them

Electrical risks can be a terrifying threat to the safety of your family and even to your property. We must lower these figures. We’ll talk about some of the most prevalent electrical risks in residential areas in this post, along with prevention tips from precision electricals. It’s crucial to first recognize the most typical electrical threats.

1. Electrical Overload

Electrical overload occurs when too many devices are connected to a single power outlet or extension cord. This can cause overheating, leading to electrical fires or electrocution.

2. Damaged Electrical Wires

Electrical wires can get damaged due to wear and tear or rodents. Damaged wires can cause electrical shocks and even fires. Ensure that you check for damaged wires regularly and replace them if required.

3. Electrical Cords Near Water

Electrical cords should never be used near water or damp areas, as this can cause electrical shocks. This is particularly relevant in bathrooms and kitchens, where water is often present.

4. Using Old or Faulty Electrical Appliances

Old or faulty electrical appliances can cause electrical fires and shocks. Ensure that all your electrical appliances are in good working condition and replace them if they are old or faulty.

5. Overhead Electrical Lines

Overhead electrical lines can pose a significant risk if they are located near trees or buildings. Ensure that you keep a safe distance from overhead electrical lines and do not attempt to touch them or come close to them.

In conclusion, electrical safety is crucial in every Indian household. Electrical hazards can pose a significant risk to your family’s safety and property. By identifying potential electrical hazards and taking proper safety measures, you can make sure the community finds an accommodating calm.

As mentioned (I think?), new spinal/pain care doctor is switching me from a steroid to not a steroid so I can have a big steroid in two weeks for a pain block. This is my first day making the switch and I am dizzy and loopy and not allowed to post on the internet until I’m more lucid. (Oops.) My queue is a mess, don’t know what’s on it. Might wake up and reblog a ton, might sleep all day, nobody knows.

Remember that wreck my mom was in two months ago, because another driver was rubbernecking a DIFFERENT wreck? For a minute she was afraid her arm had a hairline fracture as pain emerged over time, but x-rays have said she’s good. That said, yesterday the repair shop has finally pronounced her car totaled, insurance is about to stop covering a rental, and so she’s got to run out today and use what insurance is giving her for the old car to finance a “new” (used) car and my point is, I’m just sacked out with my dog hoping that I’m not having a reaction to this Very Different Non-Steroidal Medication. idk, telling people “I’m concerned about this” tends to cosmically inoculate me against it happening. Here we are.

Side note: Hello, new followers! It’s just chaos like this all the time honestly! In 2022, a shit ton of workers descended upon my street one day and dug up all our yards and broke the street’s water main and cut down somebody’s tree without even asking (they brought a crane) and flooded my basement with sewage and we had to gut all of it. Turns out it was a rogue internet provider that was cramming their fiber optic lines into the public easement part of everyone’s yards. Our city works rep told them “uh no you’re paying for the damage,” so within about a year, we were through repairs okay (Internet Provider fucked up the sewage pipes so bad that we had to get an entire new driveway by the time the plumbers were done digging under it). That is kind of the pattern: we get through crises okay, but it sure is a roller coaster to get there!!!, she said with wild-eyed laughter.

But then. Yesterday, my mom came home to discover our front yard marked up with spray paint and tiny flags. They had the logo of a rival provider. It Is Happening Again. So I’m just like. Please do not let me have a reaction to meloxicam while I’m home alone. I don’t need this right now. I don’t need this ever, I didn’t need a second herniated disc at all, but I don’t need this right now.

I've always found it quite funny that Milla's level in PN1 tutorialises hazards like spikes and electricity, and then you proceed to encounter zero spikes or electricity the entire rest of the game
