    electrical fires

    just a rmeinder that illegal connections and bad workmaship are the key causes of fires in electrical installtions...had to disconnect some wiring from an elctrical fire and the reality doesnt hit home until you are walking through a guttered house with personal belongs...family photos...kids toys and stuff like that make it a sad reality...i picked up some family photo which were burnt and could never be replaced...but that wasnt the worse...picking up the childs toys is the reality check...a horrible empty feeling in your stomach...

    the the women who was sleeping when the fire broke out was woken by a massive explosion...which was the aircon unit exploding and was blown right across the lounge and landed in the kitchen and took the kitchen cupboards off the wall.
