Firefighters alert: do not leave these 3 appliances plugged in while you sleep

Firefighters warn about the dangers of leaving the washing machine, tumble dryer, and dishwasher running overnight without supervision. These appliances combine electricity, water, and high temperatures, and a malfunction can cause a fire that goes unnoticed while the family sleeps. The dryer deserves special attention due to lint buildup in the filter, which can impair ventilation. Emergency services recommend programming these appliances to run during periods when someone is awake at home, capable of detecting signs of abnormal operation and reacting quickly.
