Electrical fire destroys two cars in Topsfield

Must have some low fault current.

@maxdura007 A branch (tree) fell across the two electrical wires causing an arc fire, the 2 wires fell to the ground, burning up to my Mazda's front and rear driver's side tires (perfectly aligned!!) and burned them, engulfing my car, then the Jeep. We were afraid our house would catch fire also, as the pine trees in front of the cars were also burning eventually, while we & the firemen awaited someone to turn off the electricity. The fire finally burned itself out before this happened.

My Mazda 3 (2008) is the one in the inferno. My fiancee, Jack's 97 Jeep Wrangler, waiting for it's turn. I got an 08 Mazdaspeed 3 (turbo) a week later...Jack got an 08 Mazda RX8 a couple days after that. They help to sooth the pain of losing our beloved cars.

@computersmasher You bet your sweet bippy it did. How else do you think we could afford the new ones?!!
