As I write this Tank11 (Jon Gardiner)'s Buisness premises is on Fire. We have just been down to our workshop about 200m away and rescued computers and Races cars etc. Unfortunately I don't think Jon would have had that luxury. Quite a few race cars down in those sheds. My heart goes out to you Jon. Hope it doesn't spread to ours.

Not good boys.  Thanks, though. Some little toe-rag  started it under the railway bridge. Caught the scrub along the railway side and jumped into our yard. Still fighting it, they keep running out of water. 5 choppers. Jumped to Terry Hunts, which is on the other side of Wayne's. Pretty bad for us, most likely finished even with any insurance. All cars up for sale. |

What is it with some people.
Hey i know what will be fun, lets start a fire...
I really hope someone comes forward to face what they did and apologize(although i realise at this point an apology isnt going to fix the damage been done)
Or will the sit back like alot of other trouble makers a just sit back.Hopefully they have a big mouth and will brag and word will get around.
Really sorry to hear and hopefully it is over soon.

All cars up for sale. Terry's fire was another arson. The cops picked a guy up who is known to them for doing similar before. He was at the scene, acting suspiciously. Luckily I was walking past to get my car and saw one of his wrecks alight. WHAT A NIGHT!!! |

just been reading fire report and my thoughts go out to all the fire guys paid nd volly will have been a tough night, and to the senior staff well done as it went to a 4th alarm would have been a logistical nightmare
