Number one: you can\u2019t smell anything when you\u2019re asleep, so if it starts to burn, the fire won\u2019t wake you up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNumber two: it only takes three breaths of smoke to knock you unconscious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then noted that because many people have \u201ccheap or faulty\u201d phone chargers \u2014 and even some \u201cgenuine\u201d ones \u2014 \u201chave been known to start fires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re able to, we advise you to charge your phone when you\u2019re there and awake,\u201d he added. \u201cFrom a fire service point of view, it\u2019s much safer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the comments, one user sneered, \u201cCheers\ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffb ( I will be charging my phone as I sleep tonight).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the fire service community hit back. \u201cWe\u2019d advise you didn\u2019t, but we can\u2019t enforce anything.
