Good news is that no-one got hurt!!!-Bad news is that the "clubhouse"/garage is out of bounds for a while........................
The brown garage is mine!!-next door's fridge/freezer decided to catch fire in their garage,wrecking the entire garage and conservatory,and making my garage subject to assessment tomorrow!!!-my entire house stinks of smoke,as can be imagined,and part of my garage roof is burned too.
The boys from the fire brigade did a grand job,but not before they had to demolish part of her garage wall!!
Aftermath!!-so no games until we get it sorted!!
Poor you, and it wasn't even your house! I hope your clubhouse looks less like the Ukraine very soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Herky,will take a while I think,thanks for comment.

What an awful thing! Glad everyone was fine.
ReplyDeleteHello Allan,Bit of a scare but everyone was fine-4 year old granddaughter was with us,and gave a bit of a tearful shock,but a bag of crisps and a cup of orange juice sorted her out!!-thanks for concern.

Glad no injuries, and hopefully no troop casualties.
ReplyDeleteThe Fire Brigade did a splendid job,have several mates, retired, from the Fire Service.My God, those chaps move quick! And lasses of course.
We don't realise until we need them just how important a job they do.
Hi James-no casualties human or lead types!
DeleteFire chaps were great,but a bit worried when I told them I had Butane gas heaters in the garage-they pulled them to safety though.

It is scary that an appliance can just catch fire like that though. I suppose anything electrical has that potential
ReplyDeleteHi David-scary or what??-I suppose that regular inspection/maintenance is essential.thanks for comment.

I gather some fridges and freezers do not work very well if outside in a shed or garage.? If seems you need a particular specification for operation in low temperatures believe it cause confusion to the temperature sensors? But I'm no expert, may be worth following up tho.
ReplyDeleteWe have a fridge freezer in one of our barns, and I know my brother was sold the item o n the basis it was designed to operate in cold temperature.
James,you seem very well up on these things-I will put this to the insurance guys-thanks.

Well am no expert, could be twaddle, but it made some sort of sense to an technology like meself! Lol.
DeleteThe neighbours insurance is paying I guess, it was their blxxdy appliance.
Several people have said to me, are your figures books and so on jnsured? No they arent, makes me think perhaps they need cover. I don't have cover for furniture etc, only the property,the furniture etc would be improved by a fire I reckon.lol
My figures are insured,thankfully,but when you consider just how easy it is to lose them!!!-could I be bothered to paint 25000 figures again?_NO!!-that's 25000 at the last count-frightening!

So pleased that it was a miss; close but all people and figures okay.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
