Hi All

This isn't boat related but it was interesting. 8 years or so I was working part-time for the Bothell Fire Dept. One Sunday when I was home my pager went off for a garage fire. As I started heading for the Fire Station I could see the thermal column just north of downtown Bothell. Seems that a guy and his friend were working on the guy's girlfriends Vette. They spilled some gas on the garage floor (newly built garage) and used a Shop-Vac to clean it up. Needless to say the fumes and electric motor were not a good match. The garage was a total loss. The firefighters did a great job saving the house and when we left, the 2 guys were at the end of the street waiting for the girlfriend to get home from riding horses. She had no idea that her garage was gone. And yes, the 2 guys were taken to the hospital for burns.
Now that is a bad day!!
