Re: Could Happen To Anyone
I will also note that electrical fires in single family dwellings are avoidable by heads of households who are knowledgeable to prevent the causes of fires.
Gas is not completely under the control of the homeowner, as in the case of some recent explosions in New Jersey and other parts of the country. When a pipeline blows up, it's like a nuclear bomb going off. In fact, that's what the residents of Durham Woods thought, as they saw the sky light up yellow that night.
Yes, electrical power distro facilities underground are dangerous too, but the damage is far less expansive. At Westchester Towers, an apartment complex in Yonkers, NY where one of my radio transmission facilities is housed on their rooftop, an underground transformer exploded and caught on fire. It destroyed 3 automobiles that were parked just above the underground vault containing the transformer. But it was a non-event compared to the smallest gas explosion.

Re: I know what happened!
Well at least I didn't cause an explosion... maybe a bad joke but not an explosion. Thanx for being honest. |

The technician could have had a huge bowl of chilly for lunch and just fell asleep on the job. Then it was just a matter of time until someone lit a match... |
