Sad news indeed but as others have said, most important is everyone's Ok. I really feel for the facility owners who have to sift through the remains and deal w/ customers also hope their insurance is best it can be too. ~ Pete .

I was checking out their inventory. It looks like it's a lot of Model A & Ts and other 30s and 40s cars and trucks as well as a completely eclectic collection up through the 90s and a couple up to an 06 Vette. Luckily there was only one first gen Camaro and it was that ridiculous abomination that was posted up here the other day. Still, hate to see the others go up. They had some reasonably priced cruisers in there by the looks of it.
One of the articles said there was a major lack of water issue for the fire dept. at the location. http://countryclassiccars.com/chevy-...64#prettyPhoto

As their name implies, they are out in the Country, so no hydrants.....whatever water the fire trucks can carry...

In a fire of this magnitude and heat they will likely never know. It started somewhere in the middle of the building so it could have been a trickle charger. Yesterday and ironically I talked to a insurance sales rep who stopped by my shop looking to write me a quote. He was at Country Classics at 5:15 the day of the fire to try and sell them a policy but their gate was closed. He told the person who he spoke to that he would stop back the next day to go over a policy. I said he was damn lucky he did not sell them a policy (though it would not have been in place yet anyway) and he said no, that actually would have been very good for his insurance company to show how quickly and amicably they could have resolved the claim. That would have brought it way more new business than this claim cost. I never thought about it that way but he is totally right. This would have been a marketing landfall for them, unfortunately at Country Classic's cost.
With regards to water, I too am a volunteer fire fighter and we also have a lack of water in many areas which is why we rely so heavily on mutual aid and tanker trucks. They would likely have sucked a small pond dry in a short time. I was actually very amazed at how quickly these fire departments had this fire under control. Shows that they had great communication and team work.

You're right, they had some good crews working that one. Most of the ponds around me are at least ~100'x40' and some are as much as 18' deep so they're pretty decent size.
