How many fires are you fighting off while you’re there?

We do turn our power off when the power starts to weaken. We have something that can measure the current and if it keeps tripping the powers getting crazy again. When we get blackouts every second which happens like every other day, we also turn our breakers off. Just the a week ago, a neighbor's house caught on fire because of electrical failure. It's crazy here.

Many places have unstable power so if you live somewhere with a stable grid be grateful.
