| 12/09/2015 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | Approved | VISITED SITE, MET WITH TFD ROB RODRIQUEZ AND MULTIPLE OTHER FIREFIGHTERS, TOOK ME TO THE BEDROOM WHERE A LIGHT BOX WAS ARCHING AND THEN STARTED A FIRE AROUND THE AREA. INTERIOR WALLS OF THE ROOM HAD A WOOD 1" X 6" TONGUE AND GROOVE PANELING. OWNER HAD USED A FIRE ESTINGUISHER ON THE AREA WHEN FIRST DETECTING THE FIRE AND THEN OWNER MOVED TO TURN OFF THE ELECTRIC AT THE MAIN SERVICE PANEL. IN THE BEDROOM I FOUND THE PANELING REMOVED BY TFD WHICH EXPOSED THE BURNT OUTLET AND WIRING. I ALSO FOUND THAT THE SOUTH WALL THAT HAD BURNED, USED TO BE AT ONE TIME THE EXTERIOR WALL OF THE AINSTRUCTURE AT ONE TIME EVIDENCED BY THE 2X 4 STUDS AND HORIZONTAL SIDING OVER THE 2X4 STUDS. A SLIDING GLASS DOOR EXITED WHAT IS NOW THE EAST MIDDLE BEDROOM PROBABLY TO A PORCH AREA THAT HAD BEEN ENCLOSED TO MAKE THE EXISTING NORTH EAST BEDROOM. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE SLIDING GLAS DOOR EXITED TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE AND EXISTING BURNED LIGHT FIXTURE WAS USED AT ONE TIME FOR THE OUT SIDE LIGHT LOCATED NEX T TO THE DOOR WAS ORIGINAL. THERE WERE TWO SUB PANELS TURNED OFF AT THE MAIN SERVICE PANEL. THE LOWER LEVEL SUBPANEL HAD VERY OLD PUSH BUTTON TYPE BREAKERS AND WHEN POWER WAS TURNED OFF, 4 OF THE 6 BREAKERS FROZE UP OR SEIZED UP AND ONLY PARTIAL POWER TO THE BASEMENT AREA REMAINED ON. I WAS ABLE TO ISOLATE THE POWER ON THE SUB PANEL TO THE MAIN LEVEL LEAVING THE EAST MIDDLE BEDROOM AND THE SOUTH EAST BEDROOM OFF. OWNER HAD ALREADY RE LOCATED 4 FAMILY MEMBERS TO HIS DAUGHTERS HOUSE. THEY RETURNED TO GET CLOTHING AND MEDICINES ETC... ALEX SANCHEZ IS THE ONLY FAMILY MEMBER WHO WILL STAY AT THE PROPERTY. SOUTHWEST GAS HAD TURNED GAS OFF AT THE METER, CHECKED THE LINE TEST AND FOUND GAS LINED WERE OK. ALL APPLIANCE WERE CHECKED AND TURNED BACK OFF ** NOV ISSUED FOR ELECTRICAL SERVICE UPGRADES AND REPAIRS TO THE LIGHT FIXTURE AND LIGHT BOX. |
