This one still has it's PC, but cover on it is gone. Both of the 60s M-400s on the davits (they're right next to each other) have black soot on the doors so I question whether of not the ballasts of caps blew. There was a building on the hill behind the poles that burned so that soot could be from the flames but I doubt it.
oh no it is possible that it was from a building burning down...but after a while water will wash away parts of it and drain down the ones that was on the pole...
i don't think the internals would really show much damage on the outside, here's some proof found in here and that is for an EXTREME situation like this linked picture.....and it doesn't do that MUCH soot....so a simple ballast burn up or cap blowing would do a lot less...one of my first fixtures was a GE M-250R that had a bad cap burning up the ballast, it only made burnt coils, no other soot or anything else....
