Hotel In Aus Charges $1,400 For Woman Blow Drying Her Hair

This is outrageous. Do other countries try it on as well?

"A woman was charged $1,400 for a $240-a-night hotel room because her hairdryer triggered a fire alarm.
She stayed at the Novotel Perth Langley last Saturday to get ready before the Ministry of Sound concert at Kings Park.
But when she stepped out of the shower and blow-dried her hair, she found found firefighters had arrived at her door."
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services narrowed down the alarm trigger to her expensive Dyson hair dryer and she was left to continue getting ready in peace."

Surely the hotel's electricity set-up is to blame if it can't cope with a hair dryer being plugged in and used?
Unbelievable in my opinion.
