    Well here,s how my day went,pics.Fire oh no!

    Well this happened about 2.15 after a pretty good start to a day,about 26 tree deep into a 48 tree job.
    Don,t know what started it,electrical investigator says.
    Never seen people run so fast as when you shout fire,full tank of gas.
    No one was hurt,luckily. Thank god for insurance and a backup truck.
    sorry about picture quality cell cam.

    Glad to hear no one got hurt. That's a loss for sure. Hope the ins/ company ponies up replacement cost!

    One of the firemen diagnosed the cause when my farrowing house/nursery burnt "Somethin got too damn hot".

    Jeez. Good to know that at anytime the whole operation could go up like that. Glad no one was hurt, it sure looked nasty.

    My chip truck burned up this past March. Total loss, no fire insurance on it. Everybody who saw it said "I've never seen a truck burn that bad before."

    I don't know about you, but when I was standing there, watching the truck burn... watching the fire fighters put it out... I was pretty calm. Not upset, nothing. Cracked jokes with the cops and firemen... As long as I made it out of the incident without getting hurt, and nobody else got hurt, those were the important things. Trucks can be replaced. No point in getting mad.
