Fake chargers cause 🔥 fires.

Could your charger be a counterfeit? 🔍 Here’s how to spot one 👇

Plug pins: Genuine chargers have high-quality, matte finishes; fakes are often glossy with imperfections.

Markings: Look for clear, legible text and logos. Spelling mistakes or poor-quality markings are red flags.

Online listings: Be cautious of sellers overly emphasising product authenticity.

💡 Always buy chargers from reputable retailers or directly from manufacturers. Prioritise safety over bargains.

Stay informed, stay safe, and share this warning with your loved ones.

At approximately 08:27 this morning two crews from Dorchester responded to reports of a property fire in the Broadmayne area.

Once in attendance the crew was met with the occupant who told them that smoke was coming from a plug socket. The crew checked the property and found the cause to be from an overloaded plug socket which melted the plug.

The crew isolated the electrics and gave advice to the owner.

Please do not over load plug sockets as this can cause fires.

•Remember – one plug per socket. If you need more plugs than there are sockets, use a multi-socket extension lead with integral fuse, never a block adaptor. To avoid overloading, please use the plug capacity calculator below to see what is safe.

•NEVER ‘daisy-chain’ extension leads or adapters – daisy-chaining involves plugging one extension into another in order to reach further or plug more appliances in, and creates a huge fire risk.

•Unplug appliances at night or when you’re not using them to reduce the risk of fire – unless they are designed to be left on all the time (for example, a fridge or freezer).
