In response to this post

Fire Hazards
• Never store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline,
propane, kerosene, and other flammable liquids should be
stored outside of living areas in properly-labeled, non-glass
safety containers. Do not store them near a fuel-burning
appliance, such as a natural gas water heater in a garage.
• Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool
down. Gasoline spilled on hot engine parts could ignite

6/6

@ai6yr This isn't often mentioned. Glad you did. A guy near us refueled his hot generator. Gasoline was stored outside but next to his foundation near where the generator was. Refueled. Ignited the house, burning it down. Killed him, his wife and their dog. Scared me forever.

NOTE: Anyone who lost the contents of their refrigerator, SCE takes claims for the loss of food. Requires an ITEMIZED LIST OF ALL SPOILED FOOD (and receipts 😬 )

@ai6yr …who keeps receipts for that?

by Tony Yarusso ;

@ai6yr Wow. I wonder how frequently they wind up paying out with those restrictions..

by jbaggs ;

@ai6yr we but our groceries at Walmart and they have all of our purchases recorded on the app.

I bet that grocery stores can pull up your purchases from a credit card or loyalty program number.

Might take a couple calls to find someone willing to do it.

@ai6yr Receipts. Thank you, SCE.

@ai6yr First you get a fridge full of pre-broiled food left at room temperature, courtesy of a firestorm, then you're digging through ashes to find receipts from Ralph's for reimbursement. At times, the bureaucracy is worse than the catastrophe. They should just set an arbitrary amount, and offer more if you have receipts.

@ai6yr If you used a credit card, some stores can pull replacement receipts for you after the fact.

by Alexis Krieg ;

@ai6yr Because we all save receipts for the food in our fridge and freezers. Nice out, SCE
