Default A GREAT GREAT day!!!

33 degrees nice little steady breeze and I was in mybright and early for a 7AM sunrise. I heard a car horn off in the distance and then some sirens. Thought there was an accident back at the main road. Just getting light enough to see and I can hear deer creeping around.I decided to look at my silenced cell phone to see calls from the PD, FD, and wife and kids.

It appears my 2006 Extera decided to burn up while I was hunting. Not even the tires were left and nothing inside either. Lots of hunting gear but not my bow and pack.

The fire chief wanted to know what all the aerosol cans were and I had to explain that they were BUCK BOMBS..

I do have insurance and went to Dicks when I got my dup license so I will be taking the wifes nice little Honda dear hunting at 4AM. I hoping Karma owes me one..

Talk about Luck!!

Sorry for the misfortune! If everything was pretty well burned up, sometimes that makes it more difficult to determine an actual cause. Obviously it's usually in the engine compartment, but doesn't have to be.

I went to a car fire one day and it was only slight damage to the inside of the car, right behind the driver's seat. At first we couldn't figure out what could have started a fire right behind the drivers seat. Once we started questioning the driver some more, she mentioned throwing a cigarette butt out of her window as she was driving to class that morning. What she didn't realize was that the butt came right back in the window behind her and landed on the floor board. She goes off to class only to find us there squirting water in her back seat to put the fire out. Found the cigarette butt during our overhaul. Crazy.
