ooohh

Again with the Shakespeare... you kill me

You know I melt like plastic in a "something or other fire"

I just can't quote like you my dear dear judge... sigh

He also noted that the circuit breakers never tripped which I believe they should always do if a circuit is overloaded?

Using some example numbers here:

A 20 amp breaker will not trip if you are drawing 15 amps through a surge protector rated for 10 amps.

but I do not believe it was anything in excess of what a normal person plugs into a power strip

You'd be surprised how easy it is to overload a surge protector. A computer (2.5), monitor (3) and laser printer (5) is enough to overload a single surge protector, while still having 3 outlets open.

We still need to know EXACTLY what the Fire Marshal's reports says.

 

[Who's Liable?]

Alright...

IF the FIRE MARSHAL concludes that the circuit breaker(C.B.) DID NOT trip thus causing the fire, then it is the LL's responsibility as the building has faulty equipment.

Dylan apparently does not want to give us that info.
