In retrospect, these fatalities were preventable. Safety codes are written in blood. Ghost Ship burnt a few years after I'd left California; what surprised me most was that it still existed into 2016! I never saw their specific electrical infrastructure, but it's absolutely surprising that more structure fires aren't sparking up daily (everywhere). My recommendation (as a former IBEW electrician) to DIY sparkies is if you can't afford a thermal camera to verify your own inexperienced handywork then you can't afford to be doing your own electrical work [yes especially YOU Mister E.E.].
