Doug, Yeah, I heard the same story at a Belcore GR 1089 seminar in Chicago a few months ago...we were discussing needle point flame testing of PCB's and fire enclosure integrity (or lack there of).. The fire reportedly spread from one rack to another via the rack ventilation schemes.
The story sounded factual to me at the time... I mean, coming from a Belcore guy and all...

This is what prompted everyone wanting listed equipment above and beyond any interpretation of the law. It was a CO in Chicago so I guess we all know who that was *supposed* to be. Was this story I was told based on fact? Did a CO really burn down in Chicago? Regards, Doug
