Another street wiring goes up in flames, but this time it was in Siem Reap today(4 January 2018).

(Siem Reap): In the afternoon of January 4, 2018, there was an incident involving electric wires bursting into flames in front of a hotel on King Street, Krous Village, Sangkat Svay Dangkum, Siem Reap Town, Siem Reap Province.
The fire outbreak caused problems with electrical connections in the area, as a number of cables were destroyed. However, there was no serious damage because the Siem Reap fire trucks were on the scene in time to prevent the fire spreading to nearby buildings.

Firemen using water to put out an electrical fire.

Great.

Too much Electric City...

I came across these on YouTube a while ago.

The sound is pure Frankenstein's lab.

Presumably the power had already been cut.

the flow rate overwhelms the circuitry so it shorts usually
we never used to try to isolate anything other than gas mains back home unless HV

water mist is the latest tech used on electric, liquid & cooking oil fires because its enviro friendly unlike CO2, powder & foam
cant see that tech coming to the KOW for decades

Small fire, many fire trucks.[Siem Reap fire.]

To be fair,,, one would complain if only one fire truck turned up and there was no '' water tanker '' or no fire hydrant .

What I cannot understand is ,,,why police are involved in putting out fires.

I reakon the Chinese have been planning on taking over Cambodia for a few years now. It doesn't surprise me to see POLICE written on the front of those firetrucks China donated to Cambodia last year,

We all got balls and brains
But some's got balls and chains.
