| Description of the problem | I tried two days ago but my memo did not go thru. My reference # 447680 while in an i95 rest stop in santee, sc my unit broke into flames when the generator was started to make coffee. I was able to extinguish the fire and call 911. Santee fd responded quickly. After checking the unit carefully and turning off the batteries to the house portion they cleared me to drive home to richmond, va this fire was in an inaccessible area behind the wall under the bathroom sink. I am a senior and an amputee this could have been a disaster. |
