Another mobile home caught fire down the street. Window unit overloaded the cheap IDC 110V electrical outlet. Pretty much every mobile home uses IDC for electrical. Those should be outlawed.
Another on bites the dust

Didn't see any ambulances. That's the last of 3 fire trucks that were there along with a half dozen sheriff's cars. Power company bucket truck killing the power- just in case they had any delusions about sleeping in there tonight.

Insulation Displacement Connector. Instead of stripping and terminating the wire on a screw lug, you just push the wire into the the back of the receptacle with a screw driver. You don't even strip back the wire.
