There was only a third of the phone left
Kaunas Simona (first and last name known to the editorial board – Delphi) says he bought a new Samsung A70 smartphone in Norway a year ago. The woman says she had no complaints until Sunday night, when she left her phone to charge on the nightstand before going to the wash.
“I washed, I thought, I’ll watch TV. I went to the living room on the couch. And the man slept in the bedroom, where the phone was charging. I can only listen Boom boom boom. The door opens, smells and smokes, ”says Simona.
The interlocutor says that while she was quietly watching television in another room, the man in the room woke up from the smoke. “The man took the phone from the bedside table, dropped it on the floor, the floor was burned. She grabbed that phone again, carried it outside, and dropped it on the meadow. Such is the event. I think he’s happy, ”Simona shares her experience.

When asked if the man had not burned himself, the woman assured him that he did not. “The man was not injured, he threw the phone in his hand like a hot egg and threw it away,” says Simona.
The interlocutor states that he does not know if the phone charged for two or three hours. “I don’t know exactly. You help charge the phone and do something. It doesn’t capture time, because it’s a daily activity that it does and it doesn’t turn its head. I have no idea where that burning started or if there was a flame. We are afraid: smoke, smell. Later, I found a phone in the meadow with a reflector, there was less than half left. Now I look and see that the back has melted the part where the battery was. In a word, tragically, “says Simona and He is glad that this story has ended happily.
After tonight, the family will have to change the floor, only coal remains where the phone fell. The woman goes on to say that the nightstand the phone was loaded on burned down and her bank card burned.

“It just came to our knowledge then. The floor will have to be changed, both of us now. It didn’t hurt, we didn’t breathe. But now the fear remained. It is not safe to charge your computer or phone. I feel very unsafe at home. I am lost in life that this could happen because of something so everyday. I’m scared. I bought a new phone, thinking about charging it or not, “says the woman.
Simona says that while these cases may be rare, they look completely different when they happen to you. “When you don’t touch yourself personally, you see everything as a statistic: somewhere, something, something. And when you touch it personally, you react personally ”, laughs the woman.

Simona says she plans to contact the seller from whom she bought the powered-on phone.
The firefighter had to shut down his house
Spokesperson for the Department of Fire Protection and Life Rescue Šmigelskienė Delphi establishes that each year more than one event of this type is registered. She shares some memorable occasions.
“In the fall of 2017, a fire broke out at a firefighter’s house in Pitkagalis village, Kėdainiai district. The firefighter was on duty at the time and received a call. He had to put out his own burning house. The fire was detected by the loss of electricity.
To see how many hours the hostess woke up the stairs to the ground floor and noticed huge flames on the ground floor. She woke up her son and went out at night, ”says V. Šmigelskienė.
According to her, the fire occurred because the phone was being charged. “According to preliminary data, the phone was left to charge on the bed and this could cause a charger failure that could have killed two people. The fire devastated the house, “the spokeswoman said.

Another memorable event took place at the end of August this year in Kaunas. “A fire broke out in the 9-story house on Vincas Krėvės avenue due to a burned phone charger. In haste, firefighters put out the burning device and ventilated the premises. No one was injured, only the firefighters said that the kitten, who had smoked during the fire, needed help, ”says V. Šmigelskienė.
It also shares unpleasant statistics – one study showed up to 12 percent. residents of the country are charging phones on upholstered furniture and beds. V. Šmigelskienė states that this cannot be done. “The cell phone battery can overheat and an open flame can ignite. The biggest risk of a phone catching fire is when it overheats. Sometimes you leave the phone to charge on the desk, there is paper, that phone is there all night. If there is no smoke detector, it is a very high risk, ”says the spokeswoman.
Firefighters advise not to charge the phone more than necessary. If the phone is charged, unplug the charger from the electrical outlet. V. Šmigelskienė emphasizes that original chargers must be used. “It’s like any electrical appliance that can be dangerous, unsafe or faulty,” she said.
