The product, in the report: APC SurgeArrest surge protectors I used several of these in the house but had 2 in the room where the fire originated.
I had a house fire on 9/16/2010 that was a complete loss of the house. Damages amounted to over $250,000. This house is a summer home for me and there was nobody in the house when it happened.
I was using several APC SurgeArrest surge protectors to protect my electronics from a surge. TV, Computer, Monitor, [REDACTED] Cable Modem, Cell phone Chargers, etc.
The fire was categorized as an electric fire however there was nothing left in the room where I had these APC surge protectors plugged in. I do have pictures.
I saw the recall to these products in November of 2013 and it was apparent to me what had caused the fire, which is what prompted me to report it here.
