Victims of Vacuum Cleaners?
There is a new threat to our nautical heritage and our nation’s defense! In 2007, the composite tea clipper Cutty Sark, built in 1869, was ravaged by fire. An investigation revealed the culprit - an industrial vacuum cleaner. Now, it appears that a vacuum cleaner has struck again! Investigators say that a vacuum cleaner caused the recent fire on the nuclear submarine USS Miami in a shipyard in Maine, causing an estimated $400 million of damage.
US nuclear submarine fire linked to vacuum cleaner
Most likely it is one of those expensive, over designed, turbo, ball cleaners. There is nothing wrong with using some brushs however if one is going to use the new super vacuum cleaners DO NOT HIDE them in a closet and leave it plugged in!!
Good Watch.

I have had a vacuum catch fire when I was using it. While not quite as serious as this it was dangerous and took five minutes to put out. It also damaged my customers carpet and cost me $200.00
