One of my biggest fears. We have great coverage as far as extinguishers and other safety items (from being on the fire department) but the diesel repair shop attached to my building scares the hell out of me. Twice I have alerted them to the onset of fires at their place on smell alone and they never had a clue. If I had not been there both times it could have been a disaster. Prayers to your buddy. Nothing any of us want to ever go through.

We have a check list hanging on our front entry way that we check every night before leaving. No chargers, tools or other equipment left plugged in for the most part. No cars are ever left over night with a battery hooked up. No welding 2 hours prior to leaving and empty garbage and rags taken out every night. Cannot be safe enough.

Set up a Go Fund Me page? I'm sure the car community can act as one...
