Charging Laptop Ignites Blaze, Highlighting Hidden Household Hazards
On the unassuming morning of October 11, 2019, a seemingly benign daily activity turned perilous when a laptop left to charge on a plush sofa overheated and sparked a residential fire. Without any immediate supervision, the heat from the charging device ignited the sofa's fabric, the flames swiftly engulfing the living room in an unexpected display of nature's fury.
