Therefore, people should be aware of potential risks at home so that accidents can be avoided. This article deeply touches some of the realistic home accidents by explaining and analyzing them to be as beacon for others to avoid their occurrence. This has a paramount importance to alert people to be careful and take proper actions to avoid accidents. In this research, we discussed the issue of flammable gases, their severity and the need for careful handling of them, especially in hot climates, in addition to the fire hazards resulting from them. And due to the importance of accidents resulting from high electrical loads and fires that can happen as a result of this, this topic was covered by reviewing household accidents resulting from poor wiring, additional loads and poor connections.

Contrary to common opinion, home is one of the most dan- gerous places in which to be. Some of the accidents that occur here result in more deaths and serious injuries than on streets, highways and schools. Backing this assertion, in the US about 27,000 to 30,000 people die in home accidents How to cite this paper: Al-Dahhan, W.H., Fadhil, Z., Bufaroosha, M., Mohammed, S., Ali, A.A. and Yousif, E.
