GEELONG firefighters are investigating a midday blaze which ripped through the front end of a Moorabool St house today.
CFA crews arrived just after noon to find the Moorabool St house well alight.
Police were also called to redirect traffic and close the Geelong-bound lane of Moorabool St.
Witnesses said they saw smoke pouring from a recently installed smart meter just moments before the fire started.

Stop Smart Meters Australia 
Pretty straight forward what has happened. Contractor has failed to tighten all terminals on the meter in question. Meter is under load and loose connection creates a hot point which then leads to insulation failure which then leads to a fire being created. This can occur at any point in the electrical system if a connection is loose.
If you choose to follow this up you will find a retraction by the Newspaper that the Smart Meter was not involved.
Well believe what you like Mr Muneshi, so the Witnesses did not see what they did? so what caused the fire? I have seen your name on many forums defending Smart Meters, you claim they are completely safe, I am wondering if you work for a power Company. Do you really think they would admit that the smart meter caused the fire? I am wondering why you are using this site…..
Hmm true, I thought the same what is Sojin Muneshi doing here? scroll down to see his comments on Neil Mitchells site http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/neil-mitchell-blog/jemena-refers-smart-meter-issue-to-police/20120301-1u4iu.html
I don’t believe it will ever be publicly admitted that a smart meter started a fire!!!!! It will always be an “electrical fault”
