Car Fire



One Friday morning we got an alarm that there was a car fire in our subdivision. We raced out and found the car fully engulfed. Thom drove engine 43 and Engine 4 came from downtown Black Mountain. We put the fire out with foam, but as you can see there was nothing left of it. The cause of the fire? Mice had built a nest under the hood and when the nest and all their winter food provisions got hot the car burst into flames.

Good grief! We find nesting matterial in our cars too and they are in an attached garage. I never thought such a fire could result.

I'd write more, but I need to check my cars! I'm glad I accidentally found your posting.

I'm acutally looking at the one pipe, pipe organ. My brother is going to Europe in a few days with a group that goes and plays on major cathedral organs. I'll have to send him a link to the photo. He'll get a kick out of it!
