Anatomy of a fire

A pastoral scene – not a bad place to live and view

Grass fire erupts Saturday July 27 5:25pm when booster cables being used to start a car – spark (bridge) and light the dry foliage nearby.

Property owner shows ODN left over booster cable
Manufactured home goes up in smoke – not insured
The vehicle that started the fire was insured – so the insurance claim goes that way – 3 vehicles lost in the fire including this motor home.
Other side of the home destroyed – lots of ‘fuel’ and right next to a car barn with rare and expensive car inside
Not a pretty site for the owner and his friends living at the site on Wilson Mtn Rd.

Thanks to Alfie and Ron – for allowing ODN on the property for a thorough look at a fire scene.

Both of the above camping west of Oliver at the time of the fire and once called were on the scene quickly.
