BKKBike09 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Thought it might have been a transformer fire (oil cooled ones brew up nicely) but no, looks like just plain old wiring. Mind you, as StreetView shows, there was plenty of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
