There is nothing like getting a phone call from your wife telling you the stove is on fire while stuck in traffic.
It wasn't a "drippings" kind of fire, but something that looked more like a sparkler on the fourth of July: white hot, and slowly following the path of the bake element. Cindy emptied the fire extinguisher on it, but to no avail. After hitting every possible stoplight on Greenbrier, I made it home as she decided to call 911 for a little assistance.
As she was talking to the non-911 911 attendants that you get when you sign up for Vonage, it lazily passed through my mind that maybe turning the breaker off might be a good idea. Turns out that not only was it a good idea, it stopped the march of the acetylene light ("a working man works till the industry dies").
I put a call into our appliance guy. Most likely will pay way too much for what I know to be a $30.00 part.
And, it's not every post I get to work a Sting Lyric in!!
