Pinball collection on fire!
« on: March 25, 2009, 06:43:33 PM »
Now that I have your attention. &&
No it wasn't. But was close. !*!
I woke up last Saturday with my neighbours B-Double on fire at 5.30 am. WTF!
His truck is parked in front of his shed. My shed is at the side of the truck.
Checkout how close it was to my shed/collection. Phew.
There was some nervous moments that morning. %.%
Cheers

Did your shed suffer much smoke/fumes getting inside?

I'd be cleaning the walls and pins down frantically before it cause you probs...

Glad no-one was hurt and the pins also survived.

Made for some great photos though! Thanks for sharing them.

Just a warning was told this in fire training from work that the chemicals used to extinguish fires will stuff electronic equipment so just incase id have a look just to make sure.
