Electrical Short...
Awhile back, I bought one of those *trendy* steel-wire bookcases
for my bedroom office. On one shelf, I set up my monitor so that I could use it from bed (bad back). While on the bottom shelf, I put the computer itself, along with the surge-protector... Yesterday, just as I was leaving to go to a job, my SO called me back and asked if I knew anything about a strange odor coming from the back bedroom. The odor, as I soon found out, was smoke. Apparently,the surge-protector shorted against the wire shelving -- and in doing so sparked off a small electrical fire! There is sooo much bull**** here.... |
