The use of high-grade, heavy-duty copper wiring throughout the market is essential to prevent such incidents. Surge protectors should be used to guard against power surges. Overloading must be avoided, and care should be taken not to exceed circuit capacity by connecting too many devices. The correct capacity fuses or circuit breakers should always be used. All wiring should ideally be placed in underground conduits or protective ducts, away from any digging activity.
Due to fuel shortages in the market, many may turn to electrical appliances such as induction stoves, increasing the load on electrical systems. These appliances should be regularly maintained. Multimeters can be used to measure voltage, current, and resistance to identify faults. Loose or corroded connections should be checked and secured. Fire-resistant cables should be used wherever possible. It is also important to check for overheating and ensure proper ventilation to disperse heat.
Routine maintenance of fire safety equipment, such as extinguishers, must be carried out. Emergency systems should be regularly checked, and exit routes must always remain clear of any obstruction in case of a fire.
