Leaving lighting on

Electrical fire caused by overheating. Can cause burns to a person as lights are used often over a period of time and become extremely hot.

Making sure the lights are only on when we are not using them. And are turned off when not in the room. Turning the lights off when they are not is used. As well as warning people of their risk.
