If correct that is a surprisingly high fraction, seemingly far higher than in countries where who can install what electrically is much less tightly regulated, perhaps unionization is not working?Having worked in Berlin back in the early 2000s I am also minded to ask what fraction were in the former Eastern bloc, as there is, or at least was back then , a huge disparity between the soviet style wiring (2 wires no earth, narrower pins on sockets, aluminium wiring, far greater areas served per circuit) and the western side of things that was quite modern in approach at the time.
Or are there just far fewer fires generally, leaving a few electrical ones to dominate ? Absolute numbers also might be good.
