Guests plugged in a dual phone/gadget charger and left it under the pillow. Housekeeper went to strip beds, pulled back covers and the charger made a huge ‘pop’ and started smoking. Totally fried the charger and exploded the connector. Housekeeper’s hands were all black from touching it. Luckily not burned!
Gomez had to disassemble the outlet to inspect it for damage and possible internal fire in the wall. He’s got all the gadgets, so he tested everything electrical before reassembling the outlet.
Yikes! What an exciting morning!
 
Good timing, folks don't really think ahead, glad this was just excitement and not a disaster
 
Glad Hubs was able to check things out. Electrician fees would not fit under the cost of doing business in my estimation.
Unfortunately, the only cure for stupid is illegal.
 
Hope they don't look for a way to blame you for the problem! You know people...

I’ve been waiting for the call looking for the missing chargers.
