Did you know your Laptop could set a fire in your room?
Dear friends happy Eid Ul Azha to all my
Muslim brothers and sisters.
In this era technology has been indispensable for everyone. It hasn't only influenced cities but also rural areas. For that
very reason crazy people of technology are hankering after it. In school life
we usually learnt the merits and demerits of different sort of scientific stuffs.
Having entered in practical life we started experiencing the same theoretical stuffs
in the form of practical. Now we grasp that everything has two sides, positive
(in our favor) and negative (not in our favor).
I know friends you must be
thinking that why my this post is so serious. Friends it is, because what I am
going to share with you can cause serious fire in your homes due to laptop. LAPTOP FIRE! How come laptop can
fire in our homes and jeopardize us?
I knew friends you would
definitely express shocking feelings having heard about laptop fire words. For
the first time I didn't believe as well when I heard about it. But when I came
to know it’s logic I admitted it. Later on I also went through a story on BBC news about a house burnt due to
laptop fire. Let me share with you this story:
The news head line reads: “Devizes house fir was started by laptop”
Someone at home left the laptop on a bed and plugged into the
charging and didn't note. Due to overcharging and no room for ventilation under
the laptop battery, became overheating and started fire. Due to this house
burnt and a pet dog burnt to death said fire investigation. A teenage boy saved
his life to jumping off the window on a roof.
It came about in London at 0800 BST on Wednesday. Wiltshire and rescue team was called from a three-story house in Keepers Road, London Road.

Similarly,
there are many stories of such tragedy.
A 25 years old boy graduated in MBA died due to smoke caused by laptop fire in
his room. He came home from hostel on holidays at his parents’ home. After
having lunch with his father he told his father to leave the home, but his
father asked him to stay unless his mother is back home from her work. He went
in his room for some rest where already a laptop was running for some hours on
his bed. While he was sleeping his room caught fire and due to breathed in
carbon monoxide he couldn't get out of his room and died there.
Few days ago while I was consulting with people regarding the title
name of my blog, my brother suggested me to take start with Laptop fire issue
to bring something creative information for people. Further he mentioned: Day before yesterday he saw a news on FB that
fire happened in home due to someone was using LAPTOP on his bed and laptop
generated heat and cotton caught fire on very less heat environment, in result
fire happened and person died. His one of office guy also told him the same
story happened in his street in Drig Road (Pakistan, Karachi), a man was using laptop on bed, he went to take
shower. Few people were sitting outside his house and saw smoke coming out from
his room, they rushed to the house and saw bed was burning. House owner luckily
saved because he was in bath room. I think lots of people are not aware about
this situation you can write a story/article on this subject. Findings: - LT
can set a fire on Sofa/ Bed/ Cushion/ Pillow/ Blank kit/ shirt/ Carpet/ paper
etc. This situation can be worst for laptops, if your laptop is on
over charging and you have put it on cotton or carpet from where its cooling
fan can’t get enough room get you the air.
Actually inside the laptop battery there is Lithium ion which is highly
flammable. When battery heats up at extreme level, Lithium ion reaches into fire
form. I know many of my friends have not heard about such tragedy or perhaps it
happens with only one of millions of batteries, but at least its fact. Saving
one person’s life is equal to saving entire humanity.
- Use your laptop where A.C cooling is available.
- If A.C isn't
available at home then purchase a cooling pad and put it under the laptop.
- If you doubt on your battery fault, replace the battery with new one.
- Don’t ever leave your laptop on Sofa, Bed, Cushion, Pillow, Blank kit, shirt, Carpet and paper for long hours.
- We can’t just rely on sensors security, they can be failed to work, so always check your laptop to make sure that everything is working.
- Never overcharge your laptop.
- I suppose making software for alarming the battery certain heat level would be better idea to tackle this problem.
Thank you very much friends.
