pflaming Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Not a pleasant morning. Feeling a bit hallow just now. Truck was in there. This is how I first saw it, then the fire broke and in the snap of a finger it was in full blaze. Edited November 5, 2018 by pflaming Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Oh Paul; My heart goes out to you and your family. Are you guy's all right? Will be thinking of you. Jeff Quote
pflaming Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 Not a pleasant morning, Truck was in there. No one was hurt but I'm certain the granddaughter's cat was in there. That's going to be a tough assignment. Daylight now, hate to go and look but have no choice. Quote
Scruffy49 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Forget about the truck, I know you love it, but it is just an old truck. It made it through and can be rebuilt, or it did not. Doesn't matter right now. My heart dropped into my stomach as soon as the forum loaded. Will be thinking of you as well. What do you and your family need us to do? Quote
casper50 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Sorry about that Paul. Very glad no one was hurt. Quote
Oldguy48 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 That's heart-breaking...Thank God no one was hurt Hopefully the cat escaped. Wayne Quote
Young Ed Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Sorry Paul. Hope the cat will be found ok and glad everyone else is ok. Quote
Dan Babb Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Sorry for your loss. Hope you guys are all ok. What caused it? Quote
1941Rick Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Sorry about this........any fire is devastating... Quote
pflaming Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 Fire Damage. The truck is fixable, but I lost the patina. Quote
Bradley S. Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 I am very sorry to hear about the fire. I can only imagine how you feel. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Sorry Paul. Was the garage and truck the only things effected? What about your project suburban? Any damage to the house? Quote
RodFru2u Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Damn Sorry about your loss. Glad you and the family are ok, The truck and the other things can be repaired and replaced. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 I am very sorry this has happened to you Paul...hope your close inspection finds only minimal damage to your projects and tools.. Quote
pflaming Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 The shop is unattached a set alone building, so no problem with the house. We do not know the cause. All is well under the circumstances. The suburban is in the house garage, where I usually keep the truck. I switche the two to tune up the truck for the trip to the BBQ. I was working on rebuilding the fuel pump in the area where the fire started, maybe some rags . . . Thanks to all for your current and future responses. Paul Quote
HanksB3B Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 I feel terrible for you. It's easy to say... and I think this when I see people that loose everything in a tornado or a wild fire... that at least they are alive and that is what' really important..as far as the truck goes you have just taken Patina to a new level. I'm so sorry but I am glad that there was no loss of life. I hope you can focus on what's important and not let this get you. Life seems so unfair sometimes. Keep the Faith. Blessings often come after tradgedy. You are in my prayers, Be strong in the Lord, Hank 2 Quote
pflaming Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks guys for your responses. Damage pictures are posted in the P15 thread. Here's one. Is there such a thing as "fire patina"? Quote
wdoland Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Prayers go out to you and your family. Quote
Todd B Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Hank just wrote what I was thinking,could have not said it better. You will be in my family's prayers also. I do restoration after a fire claim occasionaly and there is'nt nothing worse than sifting through all the burned and water soaked items. all the insurance in the wworld can't fix personal attachments. Good Luck, Todd B Quote
Tones52 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 I was heartbroken reading this. But as others have said, that you and your family are okay, is what's most important. Having had friends and neighbors go through similar challenges, I know it won't be easy in the months ahead but you'll make through. I know that. If and when you're ready and the call goes out for things that you'll need, count me in to help. Quote
B1B Keven Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Thank God no one was hurt. You and yours are in our prayers. Quote
JerseyHarold Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Sorry to hear about your loss. This is quite a setback. Hopefully the cat will be found okay. Our thoughts are with you. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Oh Paul those pictures made my heart sink thinking of all the stories and fun we all have had seeing your progress on the truck. I wish you the best including a new Patina truck and a new even better garage. Take care of youself first! Bob Quote
NiftyFifty Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) We can replace and rebuild the trucks, family we can't! I'm glad everyone is ok and sorry for your loss, hope insurance covers the losses Edited February 9, 2014 by 4mula-dlx Quote
