Tragic and unfortunately quite stupid.

Just saw news report. Now the power company is going to be questioned. I wonder where this is going. Power was shut off for non payment. Will the power company now be held responsible?

I just can not believe anyone can start a generator in a house and not immediately smell the exhaust. Of course he likely had the whole house closed down to retain the heat, so who knows what his thought process was.

Part of my job as a gas company service tech was disconnecting gas service for non -payment. All I can say is that Power Company better have all of their documentation in order because there are VERY specific rules in place before you can cut service.Of course it varies from state to state but in most instances you better have all your ducks in a row. As for people not knowing enough not to run a generator in the house I could write a book about some of the stupid things people do heat a home...tragic but makes you shake your head.
