FD "fix" the xfrmr? *(well, in a round-about-way, YES! *EXACTLY!)

Again, you are joking right?

Logic dictates they would call the power company whose
property/responsibility the xfrmr is and tell them it is SERIOUS fire
hazard which they cannot ignore ... and that would carry a LOT MORE
WEIGHT than "joe blow amateur" saying he had noise on his receiver.

But then, you already knew that ... silly!

Amen to that! I have seen a fire marshal shut down a nightclub
when even the police couldn't. A fire marshal can shut down the
IRS!
