Amazing. Glad you escaped without too much loss, Denis. That is one nice looking truck. Hard to lose, but it could have been so much worse.

From the picture I'm guessing that an ember landed in the grass around the front wheels. Vehicles, especially engine compartments, are made out of things that burn surprisingly well. It would have taken only a spark to start a fire and then it's all gone before you can blink.

Give me a shout next time you're out this way. I still owe you dinner. Sorry it didn't work out to grab supper last time you stopped by, but the old boys loved seeing you. and if you need any help with insurance, you know where to ask.
