2007 Chevy Suburban Fire
Attached are pictures of a 2007 Chevy Suburban destroyed as a result of an electrical fire.
This fire resulted from leaving an I-phone charger/docking station plugged into the car outlet. The charger unit overheated and started a fire, while parked in a residential garage. The owners of the vehicle were VERY fortunate that they accidentally found the fire, at 11pm, before going to bed and before it spread to the house. None of the garage heat detectors or house fire alarms went off (which is another problem that must be dealt with.) This is a reminder that ALL in-car chargers should be unplugged when the vehicle is unattended. As electronics have proliferated in our lives and vehicles it is not unusual to find multiple 12-volt receptacles in vehicles.

Re: 2007 Chevy Suburban Fire
Thanks for the heads up Jeff. Is it odd that outlet didn't blow the fuse when the device started to overheat?
