Give your head a shake, thats comparable to the logic that people are using to defend the idea that a GFI can prevent fire. Anyone who has had a GFI prevent what they think would have been a fire is clearly displaying how unfamiliar they are with electricity period.
isn't it wonderfull we have you then.. good thing as aprently I waisted two years in university

anyways to answer the question I asked that you don't want to as it will show you are not exactly corect, is "yes" a short can cause a fire, actualy shorts are the major cause of fires. and yes a GFI will prevent most shorts, so in a way yes they will prevent soem fires.

Dude, I didn't see your post calm down.


The only short they would prevent is a short to ground, if you can make a fire with a short to ground your pretty special. Like red green special...
