An Electrical fire in my kitchen!
So what the hell happened???
Sylan was cooking bacon, no differently than we've ever done before when all of the sudden there was a popping sound and a giant blue flame burst from the heating element on the stove and send red hot embers flying through the air. Sondra and Dylan were both there in the kitchen when it happened, Dylan was closer and ended up with a mild burn on her stomach from some of the embers.
When we viewed the aftermath, the top of the stove was pretty badly singed, the heating element itself? Holy shit it had been blasted in half!!! There are shards of sharp metal poking out where the electrical flame had burst forth! I got it turned off and unplugged and went to hear the story from Dylan and Sondra, apparently this blue flame appeared to burst straight through the pan of bacon she was cooking... this of course raised the question of whether or not there was now a whole in the pan... well, THERE WAS!!! A big ole hole, like someone had shot it like a blaster!!!
What the hell happened?! What would have caused that to happen?!
I have a message into my manager, I'm obviously not going to use this stove again, and I need to have the wiring in the house looked at now.
I am so glad the girls are okay, Dylan got a mild burn from a few of the embers falling on her shirt, but she doesn't think she was hit by the electricity, and judging by the whole in the pan, I think we'd know if she was hit by the flame itself.
On a completely unrelated note: Sondra was working on carving the design for her magical Pantacle right before she started cooking. O_o
