A chapel was being renovated around my parts and was almost burned down due to a pile of rags with varnish and turpentine on them, and they self ignited.

Any 'hot work' should have a fire watch for a half hour, then an hour, then two hour intervals afterwords. you'd be surprised how many large fires that prevented in my trade.

Also, the place was surounded by water...and no pump houses to be seen. A very poor fire plan I think. I think some heads should roll. No one ever foreseen a fire happening there. hmmmm...


Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?
