Serious failure on training on someone's part.

Every solar facility, residential or commercial, I have seen has the master shutoff plainly marked near the meter. For my house it is a single leaver, for a big array, it can be several BIG switches, but they are usually marked in bright orange.

Proper training for firefighters is crucial. I know that many states fell down on the job training fire crews about EVs, but I didn't realize that the same was happening with solar.
