It does specifically state that the fire did not start in the PC from a hot-wired radio. Therefore the usual gossip and bashing can continue ... that's much more fun.

Suggest to wait for the results of the investigation. I did have a look at one of the affected cars, and the picture was interesting. But I did not see all the affected cars.
Am still expecting a wide-ranging review of compliance/non-compliance with additional equipment in the drivers compartment as well as the package compartment.
Am also interested to hear something about combustion products of fibreglass after such a conflagration. Maybe MSDS's of fibreglass could reveal something. so far no luck.
No info is yet available if one of the belts (bottom, middle, return) have been affected, which could give a clue.

From what I heard that maybe wrong info.

You are kidding, right? Hope he gets his job back, it was an honest error? Modifying UPS equipment without authorization which unfortunately caused a fire which destroyed UPS equipment and you hope he gets his job back, it was an honest error. He should be grateful they don't come after him monetarily for the damage that his modification caused.

A shame he's a good driver and a nice guy.
Hopefully he will make it back.

Hello--he destroyed 3 package cars with his unauthorized modification of his pkg car! As I said above, he should be grateful they don't come after him monetarily.
Nice people may finish last but stupid people are asked to leave the race early.

From what I heard it was not a permanent modification. Something that can be disconnected easily. So did he forget to unhook it or did someone else hook it back up??? As far as going after monetary damages although this maybe possible, I've never heard of them going after thieves for reimbursement of things they have stolen. I know this may be a different circumstance but still.

Only 2 pc's I think they got one back on the road.(not 100% sure on that though)

Our center had a notice saying that all drivers had to remove radio's immediately.
I wonder how long before that edict percolates north?

Same here Steve but I believe only ones that do not have their own power source. Although I don't have one, even if I did have one with it's own battery I'd get rid of it.

Who needs a radio, when I have all of these voices in my head?
