[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1110117, member: 14713"] Sorry for your loss and your neighbor's. Hope you have insurance on some of it. Neighbor here lost a pickup from a block heater and is lucky he didn't lose the shed. Sort of freak deal. He figures the fire started where the heater plugged in to the extension cord. Fire got into the engine compartment where it shorted the starter. Pickup was in gear and ran into a pile of old tires up against the shed wall in front of the pickup. Miraculously, it did not burn the shed down but there was heavy smoke inside from the burning tires. Neighbor was around but never went to the shed and did not notice what was going on. He said maybe that was a good thing that he didn't open a door. The fire would have got some oxygen and got away very fast. As it is, he thinks the burning tires and pickup smothered the fire out inside the shed from lack of oxygen. Oxy/acetelyne torch only feet from the pickup was not harmed. [/QUOTE]
