| Most have been caused by electrical incidents | Cartagena firefighters recommend that precautionary measures be intensified to prevent fires in homes after the six that occurred on Christmas Eve and Christmas. The incidents took place in Santa Ana, Playa Honda, El Algar, San José Obrero and two in houses in Ensanche, and half were caused by electrical incidents. It is important to take extreme precautions and follow the following recommendations: * Keep gas heaters and stoves at least one meter away from objects that can burn, such as upholstery, curtains, hanging clothes, etc. * Never leave candles burning unattended or while sleeping. * Keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children. * Before leaving the house or going to bed, check that no appliance that could start a fire (such as stoves or stoves) is lit, as well as candles and other incandescent elements. * Do not overload the sockets with multiple strips, especially with high-consumption appliances. * No smoking in bed.

Also, do not smoke on the couch or in the sofa if you are drowsy.

Make sure that the cigarette butts are well extinguished and always throw them first in an ashtray to avoid that a spark ignites anything flammable.
