    Where ever possible get clothing removed if on fire. As its already
    Soft and warm. Yet when it cools down it will be hard and solid and more difficult to remove.

    So try not to wear shellsuits when working on cars.

    As for what caused the fire, what was the job he was doing?
    Brake pipes? Or fuel leak #ethnol

    So sad to read about a fellow mechanic being injured and his business destroyed. It can happen so quickly and there but for the grace of God it could be any of us. He was probably welding when something caught fire – a lot of us have had it happen. Hopefully, this will once again re-iterate a message to us all about safety. I’m sure we’d all like to send our best wishes to Chris for his recovery.

    Speedy recovery Chris
