Condo building. Fire dept called 7th floor outside lobby outlet torched itself with nothing plugged in.
Fire dept told us it was the 6th floor. We replaced the 6th floor which wasn't bad but smelled burnt and was a little and made sure it had a good cover.
We replaced the 7th floor a couple days later when they figured out we were told the wrong one. 7th was bad (nothing plugged in when it lit up).
One week later.. 4th floor same outlet burnt up (nothing plugged in and no rain in last 24 hours) same circuit as other floors.
Any thoughts? I'll have my guys check voltage. I'm guessing this is a coincidence and they are reaching end of life and probably aren't outdoor rated but it seems a bit odd... maybe this is the beginning of the end and all of the toasters and gfci outlets are going to burst into flames.
