    To the electricity this morning, found out it was off then rang the ESB faults number, told it was off virtually everywhere and they had no ETA of when it would be back up

    About 3/4's of an hour later bang it was on again

    Heard off a mate that it was a fire in a substation in Viewmount. No idea as to the accuracy of that though.

    Electricity was still on in the Johns Hill area. Well I'll assume it was because the PC was still on and logged in.

    That would explain why all the comp's in the bus station were arseways this morning. Explains a lot...

    There were 2 fire brigades up at Grange Manor/The Grange substation when I was passing. I didn't see the lads out with hoses or anything though.

    He said "hoses or anything". I think the "anything" bit would cover whatever would be used for electricity.

    As a matter of interest, what would be used for an electrical fire? I know that in our comms room at work we have an inert gas system, which works fine in an enclosed space (just that ya gots ta giddout quick!), but what would be used outdoors? Surely even CO2 would blow away?

    (Sorry for going off topic, but I'm a science nerd!)

    inearth gasses like halon which is probably the gas in your comms room is illegal to use due to the fact that it is a cfc and damages the ozone and they were all taken out of service many years ago.

    and the best extinguisher to use on an electrical fire would be CO2 as it would cause less mess than a powder.

    infact if you used a powder extinguisher your cleaning bill would prob cost more than the clean up from a fire. think of it 9kg of powder all over the place.
