Fire in property...any advice?

...and who else suspects the OP's similarly confused as to their electric hob?0

Possibly. My induction hob beeped if I lifted a pan to tilt and baste the contents, beeped if I placed anything on it for more than a couple of seconds: unpacking shopping etc and a couple of seconds after beeping turned itself off. I was quite pleased to have a gas hob in our new place, though I do miss the speed of induction to heat a pan from cold. There are plenty of look-like-induction electric hobs that have similar-looking "glass" cooking surfaces....and who else suspects the OP's similarly confused as to their electric hob?
Definitely rely on the official fire report and don't accept any liability beforehand. I hope it's cleared up (in all senses of the phrase) as painlessly as possible for you; must have been a terrible shock.0 -

That could indeed be the case.
People think of electric hobs as having those coiled rings that glow red. Modern ones are flat glass plates that heat up.
I have an AEG induction hob, and my parents have the electric equivalent. The two look almost identical other than theirs glows red when switched on.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0
