That said, the DFES, as well as the Royersford Fire Department, responded to an incident where a ladies ring made its way onto the prongs of an electrical cord. Once energized, the ring caused a direct short in which thankfully, tripped the branch circuit’s protection (circuit breaker).
The results involved a burnt electrical outlet, an arc damaged appliance cord, and a damaged ring.
Please be careful when using electrical appliances.
