Most electric fires work by passing current through a resistance wire, made of Nichrome. It is this wire that gets hot. The wire is sometimes wrapped around, or contained within, a glass or ceramic former. This will also dissapate the heat. There are other type that work through infra red.

How does an electric fire operate?
it works by electricity and heat
Electricity for electric fires comes from where?
Heat produced in a wire is directly proportional to the square of current. A wire can withstand only some specific amount of heat. When current increases above the capacity of wire/appliance,it catches fire
Can electricity be used to make heat?
Of course. That's what an electric fire does, and a cigarette lighter, a toaster, a hair drier, an electric oven, a light bulb. All involve passing an electric current through a wire to make it hot.

Which effect of current is utilised in the working of an electric fuse?
The heating effect is used. Normally the current flows through the fuse without undue heating. But if too much current passes through, the fuse will heat and melt, thus stopping the current which could cause a fire if it was not stopped .
What is importance of safety precautions needed in the use of electricity?
Safety precautions are neccessary. Incorrect use of electricity can cause electric shock and fire. Both are life threatening and a real risk.
How could electricity set a fire?
Electricity in electric circuits produce heat and when a circuit goes wrong the heat can escalate to the point where it causes combustion in the materials adjacent to it. This causes fires.
