I have heard of dangerous cases of electric wires catching fire from time to time. A mainland netizen shared that he suddenly smelled a burning smell while taking a nap, and found that a charging cable caught fire less than half a meter away from the bed, which scared him to the ground. Shouting “I will never dare to empty it once more!”
The netizen posted on Weibo that he was taking a nap today (10th), and both he and his roommate smelled a burning smell while half asleep and half awake. “I forgot to unplug the charger when I took a nap, and it just became like this, it’s terrible…”
After the post was exposed, it caused heated discussions among netizens, “Because I still have to plug in the plug, I often lazy to charge it when it is empty. The charger is plugged into the socket at home”, “This is too scary, if you are not careful, it will cause a fire, and you must make sure that someone walks to unplug the socket.”
In addition, some people shared similar terrible experiences, “I had a similar thing happen the year before last. The original charger directly burned the electric box of my building, and it took 2 days to repair it”, “My mother a while ago Specially called me and said that there was a couple near my house who were not charging and did not unplug, and they caught fire and burned to death”, “Really! When not charging, the power must be cut off! My boyfriend was not charging at night, and then put the charging I fell asleep with the device under my arm, and woke up the next day to find a burnt hole in my arm.”
