Lawrence fire leaves 17 without shelter. LAWRENCE - Fire officials said 17 people were displaced last night by a fire that broke out in a two-family home at 35-37 Sargent Street and caused damage to two adjacent apartment buildings. Lawrence Fire Department Deputy Chief John McInnis said the eight people who live in the two-and-a-half story building at 35-37 Sargent St. will be unable to inhabit their home "for a long time." He said that nine other people living in a three-decker at 31-29 Sargent St. may be able to move back in today or some time this week "as soon as they are cleared by the city electrical inspector." McInnis estimated that the three-alarm fire that broke out shortly before 6:30 last night caused at least $350,000 damage, about $300,000 worth at the two-family home at 35-37 Sargent St. Vinyl siding exposed to the fire on the left side of the building at 31-29 Sargent St. and at the apartment building at 576 Howard Street, located behind 35-37 Sargent St., burned and melted because of the intense heat and the flames jetting out of the windows.

Logs show desperate hunt for doomed SF firefighters - Jaxon Van Derbeken, Chronicle Staff Writer - Saturday, June 4, 2011 (EDITOR'S NOTE: Firefighter Anthony Valerio died Saturday morning. See separate updated story.) Fire commanders at the scene of Thursday's house blaze in San Francisco's Diamond Heights desperately sought to find a crew of firefighters when they became separated from their colleagues, but couldn't locate them before two of them were enveloped in a superheated flareup, radio logs and dispatch recordings show. The fire at 133 Berkeley Way began about 10:44 a.m., apparently when an electrical outlet sparked and ignited curtains in the ground-level living room of the four-story home, one of the occupants of the home told dispatchers. The woman and three children in the home at the time escaped unharmed. .../...

3 Vancouver fires not linked say investigators - CBC News - Posted: Jun 3, 2011 7:02 AM PT - Last Updated: Jun 3, 2011 6:04 PM PT
Vancouver firefighters were called out to three fires on Friday morning, including a small fire at the Babies R' Us store at 1154 West Broadway that shut down traffic between Oak and Cambie Streets for several hours. The fire was started inside the building and caused a substantial amount of damage, but firefighters appeared to have the blaze under control by 8:30 a.m. PT, according to Captain Gabe Roder.
The fire was caused by an electrical malfunction in a light fixture, said Roder, who was anxious to calm fears that an arsonist might be at work. Earlier Friday morning there were two fires at homes in the Shaughnessy area on the West Side of Vancouver, but Roder said investigators have found nothing to indicate any of the fires are connected.

A faulty air conditioner can make your home dangerously hot Jun 1, 2011 4:04 PM
Air conditioners are meant to keep your home cool, but they can have quite the opposite effect if malfunctions occur. No joke: Between 2005 and 2009, A/C equipment caused an annual average of 2,346 home fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The blazes resulted in an average of 2 deaths, 99 injuries, and $53 million in property damage. The NFPA data doesn't distinguish between room A/Cs and central air conditioning. But the data does indicate that 27 percent of fires start in the bedroom, while just 11 percent start in a duct. That suggests that room A/Cs are the bigger culprit. An earlier report by the U.S. Fire Administration confirms this, showing that room units account for 55 percent of all home fires, even though they're just 35 percent of installations. Electrical and mechanical failures, such as a short circuit, are the leading cause of A/C-related fires. Routine inspection is the best defense against electrical mishaps, especially if your home has antiquated wiring. And make sure smoke alarms are installed throughout your home and that they're in good working order. You also need to maintain your A/C equipment, which will minimize the risk of fire while also improving its efficiency. With room A/Cs, that means cleaning the filters once a month during the cooling season, and replacing filters that are damaged. Also, regularly vacuum coils and fins with an upholstery-brush attachment. And avoid "short cycling" by waiting 5 minutes after shutting off the unit before restarting it. That will allow pressure in the refrigeration system to equalize, avoiding stress on the compressor. Ready for a new A/C ?.../...

Electrical Wiring in the Home/reverse current

Advertisement Expert: Bill Lutz -
Question : I just had the fire department to the house tonight because my main breaker exploded into flames. I was wondering what could cause your TV and Xbox as well as anything plugged into one room to "bite" you just by plugging them in? I had a storm go through and shortly after my living room started zapping you as soon as you touched stuff plugged into the outlet and the Dish outside had electric to it as well as arching through the coax cable. What causes this because everything is testing fine? The main breaker in the house burst and caught fire due to this so anything extra to avoid another fire department visit would help.
