Audio Consulting on fire at Munich High-End Show

At Saturday night on Munich High-End Show, some electronic gear catched fire in the Audio Consulting/Hiraga booth. The fire sprinkling system extinguished the fire, but also flooded three neighbour booths. See the Munich fire department report:

and with even better pictures:

Poor fellows. A gaggle of valves nesting in wooden boxes with wooden knobs. I believe thats called kindling.

Its the other people who were next to door to them I feel sorry for. Their show and equipment was ruined through no fault of their own.

Anyway they were playing the Doors "light my fire"!

Are you sure what the cause of this fire was? When I contacted show management about it for my show report, the fire department had not yet determined the cause of the fire. The above links give no answers either.

This is merely to insure you're not indicting a particular company for something they may have been innocent of. If you do have definitive information what caused the fire, exactly, I would like to hear it.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the fire started in the amplifier sitting on the floor. Just look at the pictures. Thanks to the fast action of the fire department, nothing in the room caught fire. Most of equipment is intact. The amp on the floor is in cinders. As an aside, I won’t buy an audio component that isn’t UL approved.
