It started out as a pretty normal Tuesday for Francois Charlotin Jr.
The Fall River-based electrician was called to inspect a home in the Boston suburb of Milton for a wiring issue. He arrived to see a simple-looking white house with some snow on the roof and plenty more melting on the lawn.
And then the day got interesting.

Cutting into a ceiling while tracing a wire away from a light switch, he discovered that it led into a plastic jug filled with liquid.
I said, This doesnt look right, said Charlotin, 47. It went from being an electrical issue to something else.
He told the homeowner, who told police. The Boston Police bomb unit determined that the liquid was an accelerant rigged to ignite once a light switch was flipped.
The same switch Charlotin was checking on.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) Recent FBI statistics reveal that nearly 9 million property crimes take place in the United States each year.
In fact, a burglary occurs every 15 seconds. That has many of us installing home alarm systems at an alarming rate, but how do you know which one is right for you?
Protecting your home from unwanted intruders is serious business. A modern alarm system with high-quality wireless equipment can be installed for about $700, but the real key is who is on the other end of the alarm.
When considering a home alarm system, the monitoring is the most important. You can install an alarm that is just going to make sound in your house if somebody trips it, but the real value of an alarm system is it being tied to the police and the fire in case of an emergency, Angie Hicks with Angies List said.
When you meet with a home security company, find out what company they use for their alarm monitoring. Make sure it is U.L. certified or has a 5-star Diamond rating from the Central Station Alarm Association.
You will pay a separate monthly fee for this, which could range from $15 to $60 depending on how sophisticated your system is. Once youre satisfied with that, its time to decide on the equipment you need to adequately protect your home.
We always recommend multiple layers of protection, perhaps a perimeter security with cameras or motion lights. Then the next level would be window sensors that detect glass breakage, the window opening; of course, door sensors. And then another layer may be interior motion sensors on interior doors so we have multiple layers of coverage, home security professional Kirk Booher said.
Get several referrals before choosing a home security company and check that it is properly licensed.
Once the equipment is installed, make sure you understand exactly how to use it to keep from setting it off accidentally.
You dont want to have false alarms on your alarm system because if its connected to the police and the fire department, you might actually get charged for them to visit in case of a false alarm, Hicks said.

Angies List: Sounding The Alarm On Home Security Systems
NEW DELHI: More than two years after the Nirbhaya Fund was launched, its utilization is set to get a boost with the home ministry proposing three big women's security initiatives under the scheme.
While approval of the finance ministry has been sought for a Rs 200 crore Central Victim Compensation Fund (CVCF) for women targeted in acid attacks and another Rs 350 crore plan to set up district-level investigative units for crimes against women, the home ministry will shortly move a third proposal for monitoring and preventing obscene content against women.
Home ministry sources told TOI that the CVCF initiative envisages up to Rs 5 lakh reimbursement to hospitals, both state-run and private, towards treatment of each acid attack victim. "The hospital must fully treat the victim before the compensation is released. The central aid will be over and above the compensation extended to such victims by the respective state governments," said an official.
Home minister Rajnath Singh has taken a keen interest in ensuring central compensation for acid attack victims after they approached him, complaining how hospitals would turn them away for failing to pay for their full treatment. "There are around 200-300 acid attacks each year and the victims often have to run from pillar to post to claim compensation from the state governments. The Centre, by funding their treatment, will help them piece together their life once again," a home ministry official said.
The second proposal for which funding has been sought from the Nirbhaya corpus relates to the national rollout of Investigative Units on Crime Against Women (IUCAW). Though the project, involving 50:50 cost-sharing between the Centre and the states, is being undertaken on a pilot basis in 20% of the country's districts, the new proposal seeks Rs 350 crore for setting up IUCAWs across all districts. Each IUCAW will comprise a staff of 15 persons each, of which one-third will be women.
The third proposal, envisaging a funding of nearly Rs 300 crore for prevention, tracking and action against obscene content posted online, is yet to be circulated to the finance ministry. "We are still working out the various components and hope to firm up the proposal soon," said a home ministry officer.
The initiatives come at a time when a large chunk of Nirbhaya corpus remains unutilized. Of the Rs 1,000 crore allocated to the fund in 2013, schemes worth just Rs 200 crore have been cleared. These include the home ministry's initiative to enable women to send distress signals to police control rooms (PCR) and another scheme for safety of women in road transport.
Finance ministry recently announced a fresh Rs 1,000 crore allocation to Nirbhaya Fund in the 2015-16 budget.
