I was reading up on that on Modular Depot saying that some retard cut the gas line and a large fire burnt up some s*** but so far nothing too serious.

At least no one was hurt.

Randy what ya do :poke: I'm just messin. Seriously was that all the damage just in those couple of bays or did it spread further than that?

Randy Stinchcomb 02-08-2007 11:14 AM

no, pretty much most of the fire damage was confined to those 2 bays some high dollar tools and tool boxes and the whole shop is covered in soot and has alot of smoke damage. here in parts, its just the smell we're dealing wth.

I helped try and put the fire out but it was pretty much useless wth hand-held extingishers, also you cant really see it in the pics but the driveshaft exploded from the heat:shock2:

I didnt notice the driveshaft untill you said that. 2nd pic you can see it blew up towards the front and is hanging off the axle..thats inpressive.

That smoke smell isn't gonna go away anytime soon might have to rebuild or tear down the walls just to get the smell out.

Randy Stinchcomb 02-08-2007 11:41 AM

yeah, Im sure there going to have to close the shop and power-wash and then paint, this could take a few weeks:flamed:

The good news is....there is a Tech Position now open at the dealership.
Glad everyone is ok.

Another reason my car never goes to the dealership haha.

Holy hell Randy! I just saw this stuff for the first. Sorry to hear about this incident. Sometimes a shop needs a good fire so you can clean things up, but seriously, glad no one got hurt.
