A/C units causing fires in PBC

Posted:

PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (WFLX) - They're meant to help cool your household off, but some air conditioners are causing fires in Palm Beach County.

Fire rescue says crews have already put out at least three blazes in the last six months. Each time a leaking air handler in a condo storage closet was to blame.

Fire rescue says it's important to have your a/c checked twice a year and keep all flammable items away.
