so my dad called me this morning and told me that he had a fire on his carport early this morning. so i came up and checked it out. we had a metal shed (prefab from factory) and it had alot of stuff under it that caught on fire. here is the list.

-86 venture 16ft bass boat.(bought brand new and in IMMACULATE shape with proly 20 rods and a HUGE tackle box with depth finders.
-00 kawasaki vulcan 1300 mint
-burnt half of a 91 mazda miata the was in great shape.
-small pull behind motorcycle pop up camper used twice.
lost the shed, burnt the siding on the house. (about 3ft away from shed), busted a window on the side there as well.
as of right now, the boat is gone. its burnt almost all up. trailer is salvageable, the bike is totalled, and the miata is possible totalled. it caught the top, drivers side back, back bumper, tail lights and stuff is all melted. along with the small camper, its toast. also a ton of tools, air compressor and etc.
this is so sickening cuz it was gone in less then 8 min. and it all started from a short in a electrical box that was a light switch on the shed. the smell is absolutly horrindous since its all gone. the boad was hooked to his 91 silverado and it burnt the talgate and tail lights. he is ok but got his feet burnt from the heat of the aspault. he tried to save it but the heat was so hot he couldn't and basically stood and watched his "toys" burn.

this is where it all started-

He's fortunate it didn't jump to the home... Sucks that it happened though!
 
well if they total it were buying it and fixing it since we have a parts car. but insurance is looking ok
 
adjustor came today and done miata and pickup since it got some heat damage and we get to keep and repair the miata. we only need top and back bumper.
 
what other stuff

I assume that is the Auto Insurance? Does he have home owners insurance? It should cover the remainder of the items.

what other stuff

The Bike, Boat, Equipment, house, carport, and anything alse that was damaged.
 
Good thing that propane tank didn't get hot enough to blow the pressure relief. If it would have the house would've been in a lot worse shape. Glad it didn't get into the house.
 
yea most of the stuff is going to be covered. the miata and truck have already been adjusted and doing good. home owners should cover most of it. dad is turning all in right now so we should know something tomorrow hopefully.

adam, he lives in nebo on hwy 70.
 
na man. sucks.

know of any boats for sale? pontoons or cheap bass boats? im gonna buy a bass boat i think
