Electrical Fires in Australia
Electric-caused fires have long been a serious threat to buildings and people in Australia.
In the early years of the second decade of the 21st century when modern safety measures should have been available for establishments, electrical fires were still a persistent problem.
One such case is that of the Coogee Bay Hotel which experienced an electrical fire on its ground floor on July 12, 2012 and forced 270 people to evacuate en masse.
