What is badly needed is for residents and property owners in those areas to make an attempt to discover which properties had smart meters installed and which had opted out of the smart meters. There have been some limited indications that at least some of the properties that survived unscathed had no smart meters. This is something that has been reported in previous events that were clearly attributed to multiple simultaneous smart meter explosions and fires during power surges - and it is known that more than 600 faults occurred in the power grid in the areas of the fires in Southern California last winter. The information on the voltages in the grid during those power surges would have been recorded in the Los Angeles Department of Power and Water system.
