I too was amazed that none of the firemen really did anything to temporize things while they were sorting out the water issues. The trucks arrived about 20 minutes after our 911 call, but a fire chief rolled in only 10 minutes after the call. Despite the fire being rather small when he arrived, he didn't even come evaluate things or bring an extinguisher. He just sat in his SUV about 4 houses away while he got dressed until the trucks arrived. I was a bit perplexed, but who knows. Maybe he knew that a fire extinguisher wouldn't do much, even when he first arrived. |
Any before pics of the car?

The pic below is essentially identical except our car had mirrored t-tops. I think due to the scarcity of original t-tops, the mirrored t-tops alone were worth nearly as much as the 'complete' car. |
that really stinks. I'm glad noone was hurt.

I take it the Fire Dept is volunteer based on the 20 minute response time? Which isn't that great but acceptable. Figure 2 minutes to be dispatched, 5 to get guys to the station, 3 to get the truck out the door and 10 minutes to get on scene. The cheif really couldn't do anything with an extingusher, as it was really to far gone at that point but he alone would not be allowed to enter the garage alone. For every 2 people you have inside you should have 2 people outside, ready to back your interior crew up. I'm not sure what they were doing with the hoses but the first engine should of pulled a line and started to use their tank water and then another engine tap the hydrant and pull line to establish a water supply for the first in engine. Ideally that should of happened. But nothing ever goes the way you want it to on a fire. Sorry if no one cares, and I really don't wana play monday morning quaterback since I wasn't there to watch.
