chercheur888 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 "Mysteriously" Yeah, ok. I am sure they are looking very intensively for the mystery and using the water hose to extinguish is of course the best solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Grumpy Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 the 20th and 21st century came too fast for Thai maintenance. Maintaining a cart behind a buffalo for centuries, then suddenly in one generation they're supposed to manage electricity. Still, at least they're really open to learning new ways, and not taking half-ars3d short-cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) I've witnessed the power cables on our road catching fire on at least 2 occassions. Just the insulation burning, soon went out, PEO did nothing other than look. Edited May 26, 2016 by LivinginKata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalf12 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Surely that hose pipe they are holding does not contain water? There again TIT so it probably is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalf12 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Most obvious cause would be that the cable was overloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandalf12 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Most obvious cause would be that the cable was overloaded. Alternatively it could be a connection to something that has been badly made and overheated and moved to fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanukjim Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 "Mysteriously" Yeah, ok. I am sure they are looking very intensively for the mystery and using the water hose to extinguish is of course the best solution. The firemen are trying to be the latest on the Darwin List.

colinneil Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Sent a copy of the firemen photo to a friend in the UK He is a health and safety officer, just now received a reply. It read what the f... are those idiots doing. My friend reckons he will use that photo in 1 of his seminars, asking what is wrong with this photo.

bheard Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Nothing mysterious about that, nothing at all. An inevitable consequensce of too many coils too close together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
