my camper closet grow
Oh yeah, I said I was going to post here about my electrical fire. My back porch was enclosed with greenhouse plastic, & had my tank out there with a 4' double tube grow light on it, baby girls looking pretty. Well here comes Sandy. Amateur storm chaser that I am, I'm out there watching the trees bend over (biggest one broke, just missed greenhouse & porch, but landed on well/spring). Just as that big tree broke (80' tree missed me by little less than 6') a fire broke out on the porch. The plug on everything electrical was blazing. Fire shot up that green house plastic like greased lightening. EVERYTHING was on fire. I couldn't believe how fast it all happened. A couple of my friends are screaming call 911! I'm like hell no! I'll get busted with all these plants! So they ran off & left me there. The only thing I had to fight the fire with was a spray bottle full of fish emulsion plant food & a wet towel! The burning plastic stank bad enough, but don't spray fish emulsion on a fire. The smell WILL make you puke! BTW, that plastic burns like an accelerate. I saved my girls & myself, the back porch was in shambles. I wanted the 'youngens' to know how easy & fast an electrical fire can happen. With what we do do, WE ARE AT HIGH RISK! Always keep that in mind, & please be safe. Make sure you NEVER over load extention cords! ~~~PEACE!~~~
