  • This is interesting: "There is a shift from cooking fatalities to wiring fatalities in more recent years. In the two five-year periods, cooking fatalities went from 31 to 6 (81% drop), compared to wiring fatalities from 13 to 22 (69% increase)" I'd like to see this broken down to copper-aluminum conductor related.
