There is a constant debate of whether or not you should leave electronics such as smartphones and laptops plugged in overnight. However, that debate is usually centered around whether or not it’s good for the device’s battery, and not safety.

Steve Paffett was woken up in the middle of the night by his work intrusion alarm. After pulling up his camera app on his phone, he realized his laptop at his office was on fire.

“To my horror I was watching a bonfire on my office desk. I thought ‘what am I going to do?’ It was awful. I got up, trying not to panic, got dressed, grabbed my wallet, keys and phone and left for work. On the way I dialed 999 and they were brilliant. I got straight through to the police who arrived not long after I did, and two fire engines, another three or four police cars, a paramedic and an ambulance were all on the scene in no time,” he told The Comet.
