[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3328567, member: 23"] We also called that Firewood Lane. Part of the problem is building construction and maintenance. One of our Fire Marshals was called there one night after an electrical fire. When he arrived he was taken to one of the breaker boxes where the fire had started. The fuses had been replaced with sections of copper pipe. That discovery prompted an inspection of every breaker box on the property. Several hundred “fuses” were removed. The apartment manager was cited with several thousands of dollars in fines and the city electrical inspector also paid them a visit. Some of the cold weather fires are caused when lower income families can’t pay all the bills and the electricity is turned off. They then use candles for light and accidents happen. Space heaters that don’t have fall protection or placed too close to combustibles is another problem. [/QUOTE]
