Speakign of electrical fires, there was a fire in either Providence or Pawtucket that burned down last night. The cause is believed to be cuased by an altered fuse circut board. It was just on the 5PM news.

I hope that doesn't mean someone put pennies behind the fuses.

Pennies behind the fuses? The fuses installed were rated too high for the holders. Apparently one of the occupants in the appartment was continuously blowing fuses and the landlord installed a fuse rated way higher than the max and it ended up melting the wire and burning down the appartment.
I checked and the fire was in a very bad section of Providence (Olneyville to be exact). Luckily everyone got out in time.

What do pennies do? Do they bypass the fuses?

There's way too many people out there who don't know the slightest thing when it comes to electrical work.
I don't know much of anything behind the breaker panel, power lines, etc. I know more about basic connections and lighting connections.
