I've actually driven right past that factory...it's sad to see it go up in smoke like that. I'm sure that was one of the only remaining big employers in the area, and knowing how bad the upstate economy is, now those jobs are gone unless they plan to rebuild.
 
I am known in the "origin and cause" portion of the fire industry as the "hound dog". I can smell an electrical fire from miles away.

After reviewing the 30 second tape of the fire, this is a no brainer. It is easy to see this is an electrical fire. How can I tell so quickly? It is easy. There is flame and smoke, a sure sign it is electrical in nature.

I was making fun, I hope no one was injured and the town recovers.

It has to be us. Who ever heard of a plumbing fire.:grin:

Not to ignore the value of a good joke, but I thought that fires caused by sewer gas were one of the reasons for drain traps and venting requirements.

No, no. That's to keep people from getting watercuted.

You usually have some kind of info I have not heard of, so when I read this I at first was wondering what the ??? is watercuted.

It took me a minute, then I got a pretty good laugh.

I borrowed my motto from a T V show. "If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."

The Red Green show is good. I think the writing has fallen off in recent years, but then again I have been a fan for so long it is hard to maintain the high standards for laughter. Possum lodge used to have a slogan at the end of the show that always cracked me up. It was about being a man, and changing.. if I had to. All recited in a monotone, dreary, foresaken tone. I also love the stuff he does with all the cars, duct taping everything.

Keep your stick on the ice!
