9/23/12 <strong>Smart</strong> Meter Fires and Explosions | EMF Safety Network<br />

something about EMF and RF were expressing concerns that this kind of thing would likely<br />

happen (electrical fires due to overcurrent condition from RF signal). What is already<br />

postulated, and of concern, is that the rising use of equipment that put RF harmonics onto the<br />

electrical wiring of buildings may overload that wiring. Faulty wiring, faulty grounding<br />

or over-burdened electrical wiring may be unable to take the additional energy load.<br />

<strong>Smart</strong> meters fires are now occuring in Houston as well through Centerpoint. I had to pay $875 after a smart meter caused a<br />

fire at the meter box. A third party installer North Houston Pole Line did the installation work. According to Centerpoint, a<br />

hang tag is supposed to placed in situations where older electrical wiring is present. Apparently, older wiring can cause fires<br />

during the installation process. I was told by Centerpoint that the meter box needed to be up to date and they denied my<br />

claim. I also know of someone whose appliances burned out following a surge caused by a smart meter install. I wound up<br />

using an attorney who was able to recover my costs. He is now specializing in these cases since they are popping up all over<br />

the country causing property damage and physical harm. Contact Brad Leigh at the Leigh Law Firm (281) 419-3476.<br />

At Raymond Velez: Just read your post about your house fire. I’m sorry to read your problems about your <strong>Smart</strong> Meter that<br />

ComEd installed. I hope you seek a lawyer to assist you in getting your damages paid for. We are in Naperville and fighting<br />

our city’s plan to install the <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Meters</strong>. Talk to all your friends and neighbors. Try to keep ComEd from spreading these<br />

smart meters throughout Chicagoland. There is so much risk, even more than fire. Best of luck.<br />
