Mr. Jason Caswell ProNet File No. 47371 State Farm Insurance Company March 15, 2021 Page 8 Receptacles: We randomly tested voltages of receptacles throughout the shop house area. All results were noted to be within an acceptable range of 118 to 121 volts-AC. Pump House General: We did not observe evidence of fire-related damage inside this structure. Light Switch: We tested the light switch inside the structure did not observe any abnormality with regard to operation of the light switch and associated light fixture lamps. ANALYSIS General: In central Oregon, the Beachie Creek, Lionshead, and P-515 fires were all ignited by lightning on August 16, 2020. These three fires gradually grew before explosively spreading in early September during a heatwave, fanned by powerful east winds._Early on September 8, the Beachie Creek and Lionshead Fires merged, and the combined fire was named the Santiam Fire. The P-515 Fire merged into the Santiam Fire a few days later. The Santiam Fire destroyed over 1,500 structures, including the cities of Detroit and Gates, with Idanha, Mill City, and Lyons suffering varying amounts of damage, becoming one of the most destructive wildfires in the recorded history of Oregon. Areas Inside the Main Residence Non-Metallic Cables: Based on our inspection of the residence, we observed no evidence of fire related damage involving interior room areas, electrical components, and cables. As a precautionary measure, we recommend insulation resistance testing be performed for the non-metallic power cables routed near or directly along the west wall of the residence. This testing is expected to involve approximately 3-4 non- metallic cables installed in this area. Test values and acceptance criteria shall be in accordance with NETA standards. Refer to ANSI/NETA ATS-2009. Further recommendations will be contingent on these results.
