burn down in May 2011. His insurance company, Nationwide, has paid for the damages, then Nationwide started a lawsuit
against PG&E, but withdrew it in 3 months. Every breaker in the electric panel was tripped, and the meter may have
exploded. (sounds like arcing) His house was built in 1985. He said PG&E has denied the smart meter caused the fire.

Just recieved a new smartmeter. Not great lights have started to flicker the next day.
We really are being stooged. The people must revolt against all this injustice.

I lived in Laguna Woods, CA until the house burned down on April 3, 2012. Absolutely caused by arcing from the new smart
meter. This community of 12,000+ was built in the 60′s and has wiring and breakers that are a half a century old!
Powerful high-tec meters on ancient wiring. The management company, PCM, is not warning the residents of the dangers.
How many people are going to have to be injured or die before they finally take their heads out of the sand?

About 3 weeks ago my Mom who is 76 was at home, when power went out sporadically throughout the house, no breakers
were blown. The lights in the living room tv had power. the small bedroom was without power, the bathroom, parts of my
brothers room, her overhead light in her room and the appliances in the kitchen. That caused her fridge to stop working. The
electic company came out took a look and said that the smart meter had a wire that had came loose or wasnt properly
attached which caused this. He supposedly fixed the problem. twelve days later there was a popping noise and smoke shortly
after fire. The electric company same man mind you came out for that as well. he is tryin to blame her wiring and box
someone must have stuffed cotton down in it he said. The fire marshal told her it started at the smart meter. There have
been 4 fires in a week in a small town of about 6000 that were far worse than hers. Which seems kinda high if you ask me.
luckily she lives less than 2 miles from the fire station or her house would have been gone as well. Thankfully it was around
7:30 pm instead of the middle of the night. She lost everything that was in the room which was a lot to due smoke and water
damage. Was without power for 6 days and lost all perishable food. Please due something about these smart meters before it
is to late!

Our new smart meter exploded yesterday causing half our circuits to stop working. The men from the electric company asked
if I had any work done recently and I told them the electric company had upgraded the meter. He rolled his eyes at me and
said, “yeah, some people CALL it an upgrade” and preceded to tell me of other smart meters catching fire. He said we were
extremely lucky our house did not go up in flames. Now, I’m going to be a hesitant activist in order to get the word out that
these smart meters are DANGEROUS! I don’t feel I have to put my family’s lives in danger in order to make my electric
company’s job easier. There is NO opt-out program where I live and DTE told one woman who wanted to opt out that they
would just shut her electricity off. Time to put the gloves on…
