Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

RANTOUL Substandard electrical wiring was blamed for a fire that caused an estimated $20,000 damage to a Rantoul home Sunday evening.

Firefighters were called to 620 N. Penfield St. at 11:30 p.m.

The house (occupied by Jim Hamilton) was full of smoke when we arrived with a small amount of flames showing around the door header when you enter the kitchen, Fire Chief Ken Waters said.

He said the fire had extended into the wall cavity of the ceiling and started into the second floor, where firefighters were able to contain it.

Cause of the fire was an electric heater in the living room that was plugged into an outlet with substandard wiring. The wires overheated and caught the interior of the wall on fire.

Wiring blamed for Rantoul house fire

MUSKOGEE, Oklahoma - Two men are in critical condition after a Muskogee house fire and two women are in jail.

Investigators said what was happening inside the home was criminal.

Fire investigators said the people inside the house were stealing electricity from the next-door neighbor and likely trying to power the entire house. 12/10/2014 Related Story: Two Men Critically Injured In Muskogee House Fire

Muskogee Fire Marshal Ray Bob Daniels raked through what's left of the back room of a house on Eastside Boulevard.

There's a breaker panel just on the other side of that wall, he said.

Wiring, that Daniels said was attached to that breaker panel, snakes down the back steps and straight to the neighbor's power box outside.

You can see where it has been cut right here, and then you can see where we have wires exposed right here in this box which supplies electricity to this air conditioner, Daniels said.

Daniels said it's possible the fire sparked because the wiring couldn't handle the amount of power the people were trying to use.

There were also several space heaters throughout the house.

I don't know if they had the wiring plugged into a heater... just don't know what was going on in there, he said.

Fire Investigators Say Occupants Of Muskogee Home Were Stealing Electricity

DENISON, TX -- We now know what caused a fire that severely damaged a Denison home last night.

Firefighters say it was faulty wiring in the attic. And the old wood frame home burned fast, taking with it the family's gifts and memories, but not their real strength -- each other.

"I was wrapping Christmas presents in my dining room and then all my electricity went out," says fire victim Jackie Garling.

Garling says first she went to the breaker box, trying to figure out why the power stopped.

"And I looked up in the closet where the attic is and I hollered at my husband because I saw orange," says Jackie.

"She said, 'Does that look like fire in the closet?' and I said, 'Yes it does,' and it was," says fire victim Jeff Garling.

Suddenly, the couple and their grandson had to get out. Their daughter lives next door.

"My son was staying with my mother and she came running over with him in blankets screaming," says Jerika Liggett.

"The fire was already coming out of the attic. The occupants that were inside had evacuated," says Denison Assistant Fire Chief Bill Ray.

"I've lost everything I have. The most important thing was my pictures, but I have my life. I have my grandson," says Jackie.

RWCs Affiliate, HOME of Texas, Launches a New Look

Al Locus and Emma Snowden with their children (from left) William, 7, Kenji, 4, and Nathaniel, 23 months, at their Kaleen home.

Insurance giant QBE has been blasted by senior officers of the ACT's Environment and Planning Department for failing to compensate victims of the $4.5 million Sublime Constructions and Development collapse.

QBE is refusing to pay out on home warranty insurance certificates issued to up to 13 Sublime clients who have been left about $1.1 million out of pocket after the builder went into administration and then liquidation earlier this year.

Department construction services director Craig Simmons likened QBE's behaviour to that of some insurance operators in the workers compensation sector, and said the apparent attempt to evade liability on a technicality was doomed to fail.

"We [the department] think this is pretty straightforward," he said. "It is a pretty simple policy."

Aler Locus and his partner Emma Watson, whose extended family of six have been squeezed into a cramped Kaleen bungalow for more than a year as a result of the Sublime debacle, agree.

Mr Locus said QBE was trying to make his, and the other affected families, bear the cost of its failure to carry out proper due diligence when it issued the policies.

Home Warranty Insurance is a statutory obligation in all jurisdictions. In the ACT, builders cannot sign a valid contract until the client has been provided with a certificate showing the insurance is in place.

QBE, whose total exposure to the Sublime collapse is estimated to be $1.1 million with individual claims capped at $84,500, has told affected owners that because the certificates were made out in the name of Sublime Builders Pty Ltd, not Sublime Constructions and Development, they were not covered.
