“…it was totally on fire. Smoke was everywhere….”-Rainey Taylor, victim of internet modem that went-all-terrorist in her kitchen

In Idaho Falls the kitchen of a residential property caught fire after a new internet modem exploded.

The person renting the home says they were lucky to be home at the time, saying they witnessed the six months old modem sparking and popping on the kitchen countertop.

She called the fire department, video shows minimal damage, yet local news reports say it took the fire department an hour to extinguish the tiny blaze.   To add more to the strangeness, the modem was the only ‘appliance’ that was plugged into the outlet.
