Seen the Heading so had to share
Were a 5 bay 4 employee shop in a small rural town. We had a really strange fire situation about a year ago. I was at the airport coming back from the SEMA show in Vegas sunday afternoon. Got this picture text from a buddy of mine with an 04 Chevy 2500hd diesel with the front end totally engulfed in flames outside of my shop. My first phone call was to him because it looked fake like that fire app you can have on your phone.....well It wasn't a joke. O-shit and anxiety you bet! Next called my shop foreman, he said that truck has been sitting there untouched since weds afternoon 4 days, waiting for additional authorization of labor to narrow down a battery drain issue and clean up his wiring mess. My next call was to my insurance agent so she had the heads up. Fire department put out the fire. This vehicle was a company truck for a young landscaping company. It had everybody and there brother put electrical add-ons all over this thing over the years, plow,lights,converter,performance add-ons etc.etc. His insurance company sent a fire investigator to check it out and found 3 definite wire chafing in add on circuits that were not fused or protected. His determination was a electrical fire from improper wiring. We were cleared and our insurance was never involved. Customer was not happy with me or his insurance company. Was a total loss. I was glad that it was not in the shop over the weekend.
