It is with much gratitude that I can share that a major fire at the seminary has been averted. During the past two weeks, several students had noticed an odor in one room of the seminary. Over the past weekend, a couple of girls had even noticed a discolorization (or a darkening) of the wallpaper. By Monday afternoon, we realized that a faulty electrical connection was the problem.
When we called on the electrician, we learned that the insulation around three electrical connections had melted; it was just a matter of time before the faulty connections would set the walls on fire.
Through the early spring, ETSM had a new smoke digress system installed. The firm that installed the unit had cut three wires. Not being electrical engineers, they simply re-connected the wires without giving attention to the type of wire (copper or aluminum) or the diameter size (which varies according to the electrical load). As a result of the cross matching and wrong size, the insulation surrounding the electrical connectors had melted, leaving it open to direct contact with flammable materials (wall-paper, try wall, etc.).
Our non-Christian electrician even stated, "It's a miracle that the whole building didn't burn down." Our response, "Are you saying God spared us?" Well, I guess He did."
