View Full Version : I could have been killed in my sleep!
On sunday night I waslked into the hall. I could smell burning. It was coming from under the stairs. I got the kids to put off everything. I traced it back to the fuse box. Two wires coming from the electric metre were hot. Got someone from the electricity board this morning and this is what he found.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v647/boxerlass/C-Fur/CAKXCX0R.jpg
I think we had a lucky eascape dont you.
Good lord Jac . . . that's very, very scary :shock: is it a main cable into/out of the fuse box???
Blimey Jac!! you all could have been killed....Thats horrendous....Thank god you phone the electric board!!!
Its the two main cables Yola. I was accused by my stepson of being nurotic. That there was nothing wrong!

Glad you all safe Jac x
I must admit I really did get a fright when I saw the wires. I think someone must have been watching over us.

:shock: How scarey is that?
Have you got a decent smoke alarm installed? Everyone should have one.
Anyway, glad you're safe.
We do have two smoke alarms, the thing was it was smelly not smokey. Plus the fuse box is in a cupboard under the stairs so if it had smoked it would have been hard to detect.
I showed the wires to my Mum and she went white. Must admit I found the whole experiance really frightening. I kept thinking what could have happened.
