Up in flames

Indoor grow gone up in flames.

Doesn't say what caused the fire but it's quite easy to prevent this from happening.

Keep electrical wiring up to code
Don't use cheap damaged equipment
Keep away flammable liquids
Don't overload circuits
Keep area clean
If you got a hydro setup make sure yor equipment is connected to GFI outlets/breaker

Any other suggestions?

If you have a circuit breaker or fuse that keeps tripping, DO NOT replace it with a larger capacity breaker or fuse. The building wires that run off that breaker/fuse are sized for the current load. You put in something bigger, you risk the wiring getting hot, melting, and catching fire because the wire was not meant to carry more than the original fuse...and the new over sized fuse/breaker probably will not blow before something catches fire.
