Default Hold your orders folks, randys shop caught fire!

From what i saw randys ford dealer went up last night/early morning and was badly damaged. I hope all is well and he can get back to us and let us know what happened.

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.

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

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.

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.
