In the town I live the FD simply calls the power company for a disconnect. I hear it all the time on my scanner.
So that's how Bob gets those jobs. He's a variation on the ambulance chasing lawyer. ;)

I recently had an inspector not allow me to install a service w/o a disconnect.
I had 10' of conductor outside, and 3' inside. He said he would only allow 5' total after the meter w/o protection. I simply opted for a meter main and all was well.
Yet, my own home with the same utility but different jurisdiction has aprox. 10' inside unprotected. I would be more concerned if my basement were usable, or finished, but my house is nearing 100 years old, and you know how those basements are.
