    another fire strikes one of our own

    Grant whitmer lost his entire collection and home from a fire. Luckily his family is ok. He got some burns but the collectuon was a total loss. Just another reminder to check your electrical and your heat sources carefully. My prayers and thoughts go out to grant and his family.

    That is absolutely horrible.
    Glad that the family is ok though. Do they know what the cause of the fire was yet?

    The story is on ks. From what ive heard the loss was total to the house and collection. The thought is it started in the snake room and was electrical. Grant suffered 2nd degree burns to the face getting out.

    One main reason I say Stay away from the clip insulator sets on Flexwatt, When they get loose they spark. Which is capable of causing problems like fires to happen.


    Solder every connection and do so the right way and you should never have problems unless you overload the circuits.
