Re: Holy Smokes!!

sounds like the house had some faulty wiring before he even started drilling. Unless this was just from friction, you can set a fire with a drill if are having trouble drilling through wood, keeping the drill on the same spot would create enough friction to set a fire.

Re: Holy Smokes!!

If you hit a live wire and it sparks into insulation. It is very easy to have a fire. Now some of then new insulation has the fire retardant material, but an older house probably has the old stuff.
