[RE-wrenches] Firefighter RE system safety document posted for peerreview

[Joel Davidson]

Hello Dan,
Well done! Firefighters have been working around electricity for a long time 
and PV is just another form of electricity. To paraphrase Jim Hone, Santa 
Monica, California Fire Chief, "Santa Monica plans to have 17,000 PV systems 
by 2030 and California plans to have 3,000 megawatts of PV by 2017 so it is 
important to learn how to work around them."
Best regards,
Joel Davidson
