CONNECTICUT- A single sprinkler extinguished a fire that began when a microwave oven malfunctioned and ignited crackers stored inside it and wooden cabinets above it.
A floor monitor who came to investigate opened a window and told the woman and her husband, who had been watching television in the living room, to evacuate. The monitor also pulled the building's manual fire alarm and asked a neighbor to call 911. When the couple left the apartment, they did not know where the smoke was coming from.176 pages([c]2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)HardcoverAccording to GTM Research, the installed capacity of PV on the whole is forecasted to reach more than 20 GW globally by 2013 (equating to roughly US$60 billion in revenue), and the cost of PV panels is projected to fall to US$1.20/W by that same date. This sustained boost for the overall PV industry will have an enormous spillover effect on the commercial opportunity for BIPV as engineering, construction and design companies avail themselves of PV’s economic viability in the face of mounting energy efficiency demands.
The building, valued at $2.8 million, sustained $22,000 in damage. There were no injuries.
