- jqpabc123 3y agoAccording to the European Fire Safety Alliance: The total number of fires of electrical origin in the EU is estimated to be 273,000 per year. According to the US National Fire Protection Assocation: Fire departments responded to an estimated average of 46,700 home fires involving electrical failure or malfunction each year in 2015–2019. Stats aside, which do you think will cause a bigger spark, 110 or 220? https://www.europeanfiresafetyalliance.org/publications/white-paper-residential-electrical-safety/ https://www.europeanfiresafetyalliance.org/publications/whit... https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/Data-research-and-tools/Electrical/Electrical https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/Data-research-and-too...
