So glad that no one was injured. I have been working in fire and life safety for the past fifteen years and many times electrical fires do not have such a happy ending. Check your smoke detectors regularly, they save lives!

I am glad you are all well. My Moms older home needed a complete electric upgrade when we inherited it, like you fould we had many old and cracked sockets and outlets. I hope you can get the older bits addressed. Stay safe!

This past Saturday, there was a small fire incident at my wife’s family home.
Apparently, the air conditioner’s power outlet had a short circuit. The plug got scorched, and the plastic around it warped from the heat.
The fire department and police came, and it turned into quite a scene. According to the firefighters, the likely cause was aging damage—small cracks had developed in the outlet over time.
Electrical fires are no joke, so please be careful! Once a fire starts, it’s already too late.
I highly recommend checking your power adapters and outlets to make sure they’re in good condition. Better safe than sorry!
