• After Action Report
o W Cunninham
The furnace motor was overheating reaching temperatures of 300 degrees upon arrival
The resident informed us that they turned the breaker off to the furnace motor but after inspection it was discovered that the wrong breaker had been turned off and there was still power going to the motor
When it comes to electricity always check and confirm the power has been isolated, if you feel uncomfortable with any electrical situation contact Avista and they can cut all power to the residence.
