Last night about 10pm a good friend had garage fire that destroyed everything.

He has a "Gem" electric car and had been driving it around the block, when he returned and plugged it in to recharge something went wrong, about ten miniutes later the detached garage was fully involved. he is a Cop and had about 500 rounds in the garage that discharged and shot up the cars on the block.

no injuries to anyone, but just a heads up with safety / common sense. pix to follow.

Sorry to hear about that. Not a good thing to have happen period...but just before the holidays.....what a drag.  :(

Glad no one was hit, For that very reason I keep all my powder and live ammo in a huge safe. I don't have an electric car in the garage - just the usual washer/dryer (gas) that could possibly malfunction...heck even an overloaded extension cord could do it. And that seems to happen allot this time of year too. :rolleyes


It's a fact of Life:

After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......

They are finding fringe damage on the house eves, windows :stupid  another thing is he my be under insured, the garage is a separate building with it's own value , about $16,000 in insurance, that probably will not cover a new one :cry . something to look into if your garage is detached.
