I spent mine with a broken house ac for friday and part of saturday with a landlord who refused to do anything about it. It was 94 degree's in the house at 2:00 a.m. then on sunday had a house full of people get ready to fire up the grill and i've got a 1/4" flame with a full tank of gas........ made trips to 4 different stores before i found some charcoal, which really wasnt a bad thing cause now i like grilling better with it than the gas...... after all of that still not as hot as yours pegasus......

As for the inside the only time I went in I wiped my feel off on the mat I thought it was just going to be another lil fire behind the siding lightning call but 1.5 mill loss but no deaths I call that a good call. It's kinda like flying a plane any call you walk away from is a good call

Sounds like a nice little backdraft. Fought a fire aboard an aircraft carrier for 33 hours on Sept 1, 1986. Long story short 30K of jetfuel found its way into one of the MMR's. Set the whole propulsion space ablaze. Was snuffed out by Haon system. Damage Control Div Officer waited EXACTLY the min. fifteen minutes before yanking open the door to enter the space to get a damage reaport back to the XO, and WHOOSH! No place to run when you are 20 miles out to sea.

It's tough to do a good size up at 4:00 AM with nothing show at arrival. Did it flashover before ceilings started to get pulled? After all that smolder time the roof crew was lucky to get off. As you know truss roofs just don't like fire. You'll be talking about that one the rest of your life. Sounds like everyone will be ok.

Spent Sunday with my father and Monday at the local tractor pulls to watch my cousin run his Antique Modified tractor and son in law has a 2.6 Diesel truck . My cousin is the only person in the Central Ohio pulling circuit to run a Ford Motor. He has just 4 hooks on the new motor and clutch set up and it has been in the top 5 every time . They have limits of 410 cubes ,cast heads ,750 carb and 7500 rpm . He has managed to squeeze 640 hp out of a dart block with 4 barrel Cleveland heads and a Tfc intake .The Chebby guys are running 14 degree heads and most of them in the 700 hp range but there spending 15-20 k . There is a lonely Mopar as well but he is down for the year .
