Firefighters Warn: This Common iPhone Habit Could Burn Your House Down While You Sleep

Always place your phone on a hard, flat surface while charging—like a nightstand or dresser.

Avoid charging on beds, couches, or under pillows.

Use only certified chargers (look for “Made for iPhone” or MFi labels).

Don’t charge your phone unattended for long hours, especially overnight.

Replace frayed or damaged cords immediately.

Real-Life Incidents
Several house fires have been linked to phones overheating under pillows or on mattresses. In some cases, phones have even partially melted or caught fire after being covered while charging.

Final Thought
It only takes one spark. Charging your phone the right way is a small habit that can prevent a major disaster. Keep it cool, safe, and visible—because your safety is worth more than a fully charged battery.
