Kenneth:
...and, curiously, the smashed wires that are said to have caused the fire are still in good enough condition
that the "smashing" is evident. One would expect that such wire would need to be red hot and melt to cause a
fire in an area with what (?) other nearby combustable materials to spread to.
That and the fact that the elt battery has a current limiting fuse in each leg and is in
a sealed enclosure.
Sorry, but i;'m not buying any of this supposition (perhaps a different word
would be better ?) until there's more concrete evidence...
