Yea but it happens a lot. All the "usual" things still cause fires with the addition of all the dif kinds of added heating devices added to the equation

Hey Bats. Electricity usually gets cut at some point during the fire but usually not before we fight it. Although, one fire about 5 years ago all we could do was "watch" the building burn because a power transformer exploded and the bldg had aluminum siding and the whole bldg was energized. Craziest thing I ever saw. When it surged it mad a real loud buzz and u could see arcing and sparking where every nail and screw in the bldg were. All we could do was keep the fire from spreading to bldgs next store to it until the power company killed power to the street |

I figured somehow all that water with all that electricty would make it pretty damn dangerous to walk through a puddle on the ground while your fighting the fire. Like a live hair dryer in the bathtub with you!! But if your wearing your high voltage rubbers.. you should be ok.
