Article and photos at TV on-line news. |
Fire was on Viscaya, about the 4th or 5th house in on the right side.
Hubby saw it and said there was a car and two golf carts in the garage which were totally destroyed. Said by the looks of it, the fire may have started in the garage. |
I am guessing an electric golf cart. I feel so bad for the owners and grateful that the renters escaped unharmed.
Thank you for telling us Jan. |
We live in Hillsborough and went to see the house this morning. We can only thank God that no one was injured. The house, car, and two golf carts are a total loss. The house next door also had their siding melt. It does appear that the fire started in the garage. The wall between the garage and kitchen in totally blown out. Our thoughts are with the owners and the renters

Let's not start jumping to conclusions as to a golf cart as the source.

so why so many fires in the garages? Why so many fires starting in garages with electric golf cart? Maybe these houses are not properly wired for charging electric carts?

Gracie, that was not confirmed.
" it was possible that the separate low amp charger was also present. That combination could have cause the spark that ingnited the hydrogen gas produced by all wet cell lead acid batteries." Read Franks words carefully, By the way and this has been posted here before gas carts have have fires also. You eliminate both possibility just go solar carts |
Why don't we put smoke detectors in the garage?

good ?
