So my grandfather burned down his garage tonight. Nobody was hurt, and I'm not 100% sure how it started, but there was a lot of damage.
The main garage, including what was an 03 Sierra that only had about 53K miles on it,
The add-on shed in the back, where he kept all his lawn equipment,
And the real loss of the day, his almost fully restored 1947 Chrysler New Yorker
The Chrysler hadn't been running, and he was working on it when something lit off. I am kind of wondering if it back-fired through the intake and lit off the lines and tank, the garage went up too fast for at least one fuel tank to not be involved in the start.
Frankly, this is not the grandfather I thought I needed to worry about setting his garage on fire.
