"According to GO, the fire was caused by a commuter pouring their coffee into the electrical equipment."
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming they have visual evidence of this. That's quite an accusation to make.
Although, given the attitude and actions of some people lately, it wouldn't surprise me.

ReplyDeleteThat's why there's a strap - the 'glass' barrier is not holding the extinguisher in place.
GO could have said "accidentally pouring their coffee"...
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if they guy pulled the strip out first?
ReplyDeletethere is a littel ring which is connected to a rubber seal around the window case the extiguisher sits in,
Ill bet he just tried to pull open the door without removing the strip first.
Just a hunch.
Same thing happened for me. Electrical fire in my own coach, almost broke knuckles getting xtnguishr out, Door guy had no flashlight. I had two. Needed 3 tries to cut pwr & lock out doors. Not impressed.
