The fire department comes by every 6 months and does an inspection of commercial facilities (in the county our facility is located in). Basically, firefighters can be completely dense when it comes to electrical systems, and they want to know why you use power strips and every time they see one or a bunch of equipment plugged into a single outlet using some sort of wall tap, they are like "OMG CIRCUIT OVERLOAD GTFO" and it's a pain in the ass having them nitpick all your wiring and claiming running X number of devices in one area is unsafe and they will spontaneously explode instantly.

TL;DR, they don't even have certifications to inspect facilities, but they walk through twice a year with a checklist to be a general pain. Our goal is to get them in and out with as few questions as possible so they don't whip out the pseudo-electrician/physicist BS and want to visit us even more to correct "flaws" with how we carry things out. I hate when people who know nothing about what you are doing meander in and have to know every single thing you are doing and try to say you're stuff is wrong because it doesn't align with their opinions, protocols or whatever.

So, that is why 4 of my most ghetto looking rigs (which aren't great producers anyway) are offline. The rest are still going with as few wires as possible to prevent any "issues" that might come up.
