Shed fire cause
« on: March 25, 2005, 02:25:04 PM »
Hows this for a funny fire cause:
This guy was living in a shed, which he had done up into a bedroom (basically had TV and and stereo, bed and couch, plus a few bedroom extras...) 8)
He was trying to watch a DVD, but his dvd player wasn't working... so he grabs a can of some something (probably RJ-45, or WD-40) and starts to hit the DVD player... the can ruptures, and fills the room with a flammable mist... he turns the light on, and the room flashes over... :shock:
Ever thought that by trying to bash some sense into DVD player you might lose your shed? :lol:
(BTW, no injuries, and the shed was fully insured)

Ha, some people...

Don't want to turn this into a fire cause competition, but one below was a personal stand out!

Worst cause for shed into house fire I've been involved with was a shed fire at Normanville (whilst I was in Yankalilla CFS), early morning response to going stucture fire, 0n arrival shed fully involved and house partially (1 room and eaves). After extinguishment and interviewing the resident it progressed that with the very cold night (1-2 degrees) they we're concerned about the old family dog being outside, so they moved the kennel into the shed and placed an electric blanket in the kennel for the dogs warmth! Poor dog was well and truly roasted in kennel!
