12,000 fires in the past three years

First rule of thumb, if it doesn't need to stay on, ie your fridge/freezer then turn it off. I do it religiously with all of my appliances. I guess it is of the desirable OCD habits to have. I even turn my toaster and kettle off after they finish their task. Saving a bit on electricity in the process as well as peace of mind is a win-win situation.
 
The ex insists on doing any washing and drying overnight as he finds the noise of the machine annoying. .. I would much rather do it in the daytime when I am there and awake for precisely this reason... apparently washing machines and dishwashers are the main cause of house fires... we don't have a dishwasher as well thankfully. . But timing washing so he isn't around is a nuisance
 
It's the old "man bites dog" thing. A dog biting a man happens all the time, it's not news. A man bites a dog..

It's why people freak out about the very few plane crashes that cost dozens of lives per year versus car accidents that cost tens, if not hundreds, of thousand a year.

We run both washing machine and dishwasher overnight, on the cheaper tariff, makes a significant difference in running costs.
Ecig fires are just a little easier to sensationalise, being a new and unregulated product that most folk are clueless about. Is it a conspiracy? I think there are folk who'd like you to believe it is.

I'm the same. Run dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer through the night every night without a problem up to now. That's what home insurance is for.
