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

They put a smart meter on bedroom wall of a cabin I have been renting for 18 years. It is partway into the wall, a board and<br />

batting wall. The first night I was awakened with a wave of energy going through my body. I could imagine my body, the<br />

internal rib cavity as it passed through and upwards through my head. I was scared. I have moved into the living room to<br />

sleep, it happened again. I have shrouded the smart meter with tinfoil to interfere with the microwaves. I have talked to<br />

three idiots reading from scripts at PG&E. The last one said, “It only lasts 45 seconds.” I want to tell him to put his balls into a<br />

microwave for 45 seconds and see how it feels. Any other help?<br />

We had a <strong>Smart</strong>meter installed in our home. On April 8th, at 5:3 AM, our lights started flickering, luckily my husband is an<br />

early riser. He hurried over to the inside electric box and saw it explode. The <strong>Smart</strong>meter exploded as well. The rest of the<br />

family was able to get out safely, but our house is a total loss. An FPL representative arrived at our house before the fire<br />

department did!<br />

I have heard several stories of people saying that their house caught fire after the <strong>Smart</strong>meter was installed.<br />

Check out what my home looks like now.<br />

My old meter was defect and Portland General Electric replaced it with a “smart meter”. It exploded two weeks later as I<br />

walked out my front door. It covered the porch with heavy black smoke and threw me down to the cement. I called PGE<br />

seven times and told them that the meter exploded. Each time I called the employees used the same phrase, “smart meters<br />

do not explode”. They decided to come out and look at the black meter and burned wall on my house five months later<br />

because I complained about the extremely high bill. However, before they came to inspect meter they hit the “kill switch” and<br />

left me without electricity for eleven hours in 20 degree weather. I put up a barrier on the porch with a sign that said,<br />

“Warning. Do not pass this chair. Meter has Exploded”. PGE is now blaming me for the explosion! Why? I don’t know. There<br />

was a PGE inspector’s business card on my front door last week that had a note on the back stating, “You will pay for all<br />

tampered meters. You will die.” I called this man and asked why he would threaten my life. He said, I didn’t mean to write<br />

“die”. Yes, I have been threatened by Portland General Electric.<br />

My son just lost everything He owned when his mobile home caught on fire. He had been living there for two months without<br />

electricity due to being laid off from his job and his unemployment running out. I signed for his power to be reconnected. I<br />

couldn’t bear<br />

to see him living like that any longer. Within less than an hour everything was gone, and his pit bull was suffering from severe<br />

burns and smoke inhalation. We still don’t know if Jedamiah (the dog ) is going to make it. Audie ( my son) was laid off his job<br />

that mourning, almost went to prison over $.50 still owed on his legal fees. The power company assumes no responsibility for<br />

the fire ( Blue Ridge Electric). I don’t<br />

know if the meter was a smart meter, but it was installed last year. My point being<br />

that while the cause of the fire was undetermined because of structual damage,<br />
