The product, in the report: 25 foot exterior extension cord
Extension cord was in use. I heard a popping and the cord had caught fire and separated approx halfway in the length of the cord. I extinguished the fire but not before it melted my floor. The cord was so hot it left burn marks where it was laying (I. Have photos)
