I dare not switch on theTV set which is very likely to explode and cause fire! Grandy Lee, who is suffering from some physical limitations, said unhappily while pointing at her 18-years old antique TV set. Ever since she had found her traditional TV set making some strange noise and emitting some disgusting smell, she was convinced by the social worker to stop using it in view of the possible danger. She cannot but to abandon her enjoyment in watching some TV series which has helped to ease her loneliness. What she can do now to kill her time is to look at the streets from the window. The social worker explained to me that in these humid days, the dust accumulated inside the TV set gets damped which may induce fire. I can spare no money to buy a new one, so I have to live with the boredom as TV entertainment is no longer available. It seems quite hopeless to me! Grandy Lee has to rely upon the CSSA to maintain her living since her husband passed away a year ago. Owing to some physical limitations, she is obliged to stay at home and to give up her active social life. In this rainy season while the humidity always stays at a high level, there is quite a number of fire incidents found to be related to the damped parts of those traditional TV sets. The TV sets of many of the poor elderly do not function any more due to the lack of maintenance. Social workers have referred to our EAE program, some of the requests for TV sets made by the poor elderly who are awaiting your kind donations. According to the survey conducted by the Electrical and Engineering Department, the number of fire incidents caused by the traditionalTV sets which have fatique parts and are dusty, gets doubled in the rainy and humid season as a result of heat dissipating too slowly and the parts of the TV sets getting damped.
