Cases of fire receptacles are not uncommon. We are not talking about the old models of the 80s, and of modern and and not cheap options. Danger blowout outlet not only damage the art, but in the fire (fire occurrence).
In today's world it is difficult to do without electrical work and home. It is important to monitor the serviceability of equipment and the timely removal of the cause, as the cause of fires is often a failure wiring. The main causes of burnout outlets:
Overload
Any socket designed for 250 watts and 16 (rarely 25) Am. If the load is exceeded, which leads to unpleasant consequences.

To eliminate the need to pull your reasons for plate clamps, tighten the bolts.
Burnout plate clamps
Because burning plates clamp contact is broken, which leads to ignition. Correct cause can be cleaned wafer by switching off the voltage.
None of the socket does not provide 100% immunity to burnout. Although ensure it will not be difficult, subject to a set of rules: the timely servicing of the device, replacement of the old to the new outlet.
