Firefighters Warn: This Common iPhone Habit Could Burn Your House Down While You Sleep
🚨 *Firefighters Urgently Warn: Never Charge Your Phone Here!* ⚠️
Most of us are guilty of it — plugging in our phones and tossing them on the bed or under a pillow while we sleep. But did you know this simple habit can lead to serious danger… even disaster?
📱🔥 *Charging your phone on the bed or under your pillow can cause it to overheat — potentially leading to fire, burns, or even explosions.*
Smartphones generate heat while charging. When you place them on soft surfaces like a mattress, blanket, or under a pillow, the heat can’t properly escape. This creates a *dangerous buildup of heat*, especially overnight when you’re asleep and unaware.
*According to fire departments across the world*, dozens of house fires and burn injuries have been linked to this unsafe habit. Batteries — especially lithium-ion ones — are extremely sensitive to overheating and can ignite flammable bedding within minutes.
🧯 *What can you do instead?*
– ✅ Always charge your phone on a hard, flat surface (like a nightstand or desk).
– ✅ Keep it away from your bed and flammable materials.
– ✅ Use original chargers and avoid leaving devices charging unattended for long hours — especially overnight.
🔌 *It only takes one moment for a fire to start. Your safety, your family’s safety — it’s not worth the risk.*
Let this photo be a wake-up call: *Your bed is NOT a safe charging station.*
