All the transformers melting seems like a tough problem. What’s the solution?

Couldn't even imagine the amount of random fires that would break out the first day, with practically no tools to put them out.

currently there isn’t one. We can manufacture about 2 “big” transformers a year, and there are about 120 on the planet. Assume 50% are melted, and even with redirected resources itll take a long time to recover
