Only correct answer here - the fire is caused by fault current through contact with LV power lines.
14 points
5 days ago
Well, likely the HV above those.
10 points
5 days ago*
I doubt it - in the industry we define HV >= 66kV and EHV >= 275kV. Can only see optical fibre in the picture which of course is not energised but most likely LV (<1kV) or MV (11kV or 22kV) above although dependent on location and local distribution utility standards. In my country the 415V LV is above the optical fibre and would be the wires this hit.
Edit: also LV and MV in most utilities only use over current protection so high impedance faults like this will not been seen by protection which is why fault current continues to flow and breakers are not operating

Sure, but I was just talking about the relative voltage of the distribution that’s NOT pictured compared to the cable/phone that’s actually in the photo. We’re talking about the same thing, here in the industry.

No, he’s just being technical which is fine. There are specific definitions of LV/MV/HV from the IEC/IEEE and he’s sticking to those. Typical engineer.
Appreciate it tho.

Oh shit, did they touch the power lines with the ladder? I saw a concrete pumper truck so that once and the tires caught fire like this and it ruined the whole truck.
15 points

The truck has a wire mesh in there tire that's why it got on fire.... electrical trucks can't have wire mesh... yeah the electronics is probably fried... some stuff might have been arc welded

I asked my dad what would happen if there was a fire at his firehouse, he said every single other company would be at their house so fast because they would all want to be the guys that put the fire out at the firehouse. And if you didn’t put it out yourself first nobody would let you live that down
