It was an ordinary weekend evening, and I was lounging on the sofa in the living room, playing with my newly acquired smartphone and enjoying the rare leisure time. The exciting game scenes were jumping on the screen of my phone, and the cheerful sound effects echoed in my ears, making me temporarily forget the pressure of work and the troubles of life.

Just as I was immersed in this pleasure, I suddenly felt the phone in my hand warm up. I instinctively glanced at the charging port and noticed that the charging cable was slightly heating up. At first, I didn't pay much attention because sometimes it's normal for the phone and cable to heat up slightly while charging. However, just as I was about to put down my phone and take a break, a burnt smell hit my nose.

My heart tightened and I quickly looked up at the charging cable. I saw faint blue smoke rising from the plug of the cable, accompanied by a faint flame. I immediately broke out in a cold sweat and quickly grabbed my phone and charging cable to prepare to unplug the power. But as soon as I touched the plug, a strong burning sensation instinctively made me retract my hand.

No good! It's on fire! "I shouted and jumped up from the sofa. At this moment, the flames on the cable had become strong, and black smoke filled the entire living room. I quickly turned around to look for the fire extinguisher, but my mind was in chaos and I forgot where the fire extinguisher was stored at home.

In a moment of desperation, I grabbed the sofa cushion beside me and threw myself forcefully towards the flames. Fortunately, the sofa cushion was wet and the fire was temporarily under control. However, the flames on the cable continued to burn tenaciously, emitting suffocating thick smoke.

I used a sofa cushion to hold down the fire while shouting loudly for my family to call the police and dial 119. At this moment, my eyes were already filled with smoke, tears streaming down my face, and my throat was filled with a pungent odor. I endured the discomfort, tried to stay awake, and waited for the arrival of rescue personnel.

A few minutes later, firefighters arrived at the scene. They quickly put on their protective gear and rushed towards me with fire extinguishers in hand. One of the firefighters decisively cut off the power supply in the home and then, together with other colleagues, completely extinguished the fire.

After confirming that the fire source had been completely extinguished, firefighters began to carefully investigate the cause of the fire. After investigation, they preliminarily determined that the fire was caused by a short circuit due to aging charging cables. Young man, what a stroke of luck this time! "An elderly firefighter patted my shoulder and said," This aging charging cable is like a time bomb that could explode at any moment

Listening to the firefighter's instructions, I was filled with fear. Remembering my carelessness towards the electrical wires and appliances at home, a wave of regret surged in my heart. Although this fire did not cause serious consequences, it also sounded the alarm for me.

With the help of firefighters, I cleaned up the mess in the living room. Looking at the messy sofa and floor, I fell into contemplation. This accident made me deeply realize that safety is no small matter, and every detail in life can hide huge hidden dangers.

Since then, I have started to pay attention to electrical safety in my home. I carefully inspected all the wires and appliances and replaced the aging and damaged equipment one by one. At the same time, I have also developed the habit of regularly checking the electrical equipment in my home to ensure that they are always in good working condition.

In addition, I actively promote electrical safety knowledge to my relatives and friends around me, reminding them to pay attention to electrical safety. I hope to make more people aware of the importance of electrical safety through my own efforts, and work together to create a safe and harmonious living environment.
