Alot more of these electrical fires will be happening in the near future with the lack of electrical repairs being done , or done by untrained , unlicensed hacks !

I guess electrical repairs aren't "legit" unless the IBEW gets a cut?

Instead of going back and forth with this nonsense why don't we take a step back and congratulate the volunteer FD's who continually get the job done by putting their lives on the line for little to nothing in return.

Let us all be grateful no one was injured. Before we assign blame, can we wait until the facts tell us who or what caused the fire. If the cause of the fire is electrcal. And that cause is directly related to storm damage. Then in my opinion," what ever event that caused the electrical system to catch fire, should be addressed by building code regulations.
