A sad day. Fire destroys vintage cars

Fire destroys vintage cars

http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/ne...7-1327853.html

Note that this isn't the first time this place has burned. There was a
picture in the printed edition that clearly showed three of the cars
destroyed.

Damn, that sucks. Why - o - why can't these fires find a lot full of
beaters inestead of vintage iron like the cars in the story??

A better question is, 3 fires in 2 years on the same property, and the fire
marshall is not suspicious? -Dave

My old '56 Golden Hawk was eventually sold to a guy in England, who
promptly put it into a restoration shop in Bristol. It was in the
middle of a frame-off resto when the fireworks warehouse next door exploded.

I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

Or why they didn't get a sprinkler system installed?
the shop was probably not a well-kept one,thus the two fires.

I guess their zoning laws need rework,too.

There's a textile warehouse down the street that's burned to the
ground 4 times in the last 20 years. Each time it's rebuilt, it's
rebuilt about twice as large as it was before the fire.

The 'Shop' was a shed that at one time probably held livestock.

Hey zoning laws work real good around here. You can have just about any
useage. You just need to provide enough parking.

Drifting further...

Last Summer my daughter had a semester in Japan. She brought back some
interesting pictures. One was of a temple from above. At each end of the
roof was a schulpture of a fish, to protect the temple from fire. That
temple had been destroyed by fire 4 times and rebuilt each time. Guess
the fish didn't work too good.

Anyway 3 fires in two years. It makes me wonder if the cars were in as
good a shape as insured for. I'll look to followups in the future.
