"During a typical year, home electrical problems account for 67,800 fires, 485 deaths, and $868 million in property losses. Home electrical wiring causes twice as many fires as electrical appliances. In urban areas, faulty wiring accounts for 33% of residential electrical fires." http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/citizens/all_citizens/home_fire_prev/electrical.shtm Hardly seems like hyperbole.
