cheers,

Final circuits in Holland are radial.

The numbers are low in all cases, so it would be necessary to look at
individual accidents to see whether the cause was related to circuit
protection or other causes

Much also depends on if they record accidents with electrical appliances
separately from those for fixed wiring, and how they record things like
fires started by electrical faults. Without detailed analysis of the
stats recording process they as usual tell you a small part of the story.
