grandpa's shop was near the RR tracks....the train set the grass on fire back in the 50's....lot's of good customers stuff and his burned up...collecting from them ....not/didn't happen...
having lost a rarer O/t car I can just imagine how they feel . and because of politics , it couldn't been put out sooner also . things will not change till a humans life is involved .
No mention of insurance ... At least store the Dad's favorite car elsewhere for Pete's sake ... What a shame .... Jim
"Dave Leischner, a trustee for the Petersburg Rural Fire Department, said the lack of a mutual aid agreement with the city, which would have immediately dispatched his firefighters, delayed the callout for his department. He said they were less than a mile away, suited up and ready to roll, but it took about 50 minutes for them to get the call."....
At least it was an A not a '32. Still sucks. Dispatched call or not, knowing about the fire and not doing anything about it is stupid. Do what's right, even if you are braking the rules.
