Just want to add that this is FYI.
This is how destructive and even dangerous LFA's can be if left unchecked. This senior citizen is in peril and doesn't understand the importance of dealing with her situation asap. I will do what I can. IMO this house is not even habitable. I don't know how she can even live there. She's a Hoarder and with all the clutter and rubbish in and out of the house its only compounding the situation. I'm thinking I might go by there with some Amdro.
She didn't even know what Amdro was when I mentioned it.
Kimo - sounds like a more substantial intervention is needed there - that kind of electrical situation is life-threatening. Not sure whether they could do anything, but it might be worth a call to the Hawaii County Office on Aging to talk to someone there. They may have a program for elders in need of support services or be able to pass the information on to an office that does. Also came across this on the county web page:
