Man Lift CATCHES ON FIRE Next To Our HOUSE!

[@debmadden4157]

⚘Erin, from the beginning of the last vid you had commented repeatedly that you had a bad feeling about the lift!!! This vid you wanted to finish an email that saved your family & your house. Your instincts were spot on both times!!! I am speechless. Go play the lottery now. Also hope the mechanic carries a fire extinguisher from now on.

Josh, you showed your mettle today. Your quick reaction, thankfully, saved the day. Having that fire extinguisher and knowing exactly where it was and how to use it is another indication of your "coolness under fire".

You all are much stronger and your comment “we just wouldn’t quit” says it all. Getting back on the lift and completing the job was a huge victory that shows your strength. Way ro go.

No quitting is the key to get to the final goal, I agree. And admire that spirit and energy that keeps them going.

[@prof1798]

Josh, a note for the future get fire extinguisher fitted where you store the Bikes and Quads under the deck. Better safe than sorry. Great forethought to have at least one proper sized extinguisher at the house.

[@stephendoing2253]

Great idea, safety first!

[@maggiesue4825]

Fire extinguishers should be located in several areas of the house, too Checked periodically, as well. NEVER take fire for granted!

[@bjdutch1]

Great advice, and teach the kids how to use those too.

[@smijas]

On that note; Maybe build a non-flammable cavity underneath the deck, these machine's and toys all have fuel in them; and your boys will grow bigger; and bigger boys will love to play with bigger toys (with bigger engines). I would think twice before parking them "under the house/deck" without a firewall or fire-resistant barrier.

Given that you're parking four-wheelers/mini-bikes under the deck, you might want to put a fire extinguisher on one of the columns right there.

And add a second outdoor tap on that side of the house with a hose!

[@mwolrich]

Never mind a fire extinguisher, should consider a “dry” sprinkler system under the deck, will automatically put out a fire if no one is around to extinguish it, dry because a wet system will freeze in the winter..

[@dennishuntley255]

I’d say since you don’t have a fire Dept. that can get to you in mins. I would buy several fire extinguishers and put them through out the property. You have plenty of room under the deck to mount a least 2 or 3 on your post supports. Since you park the four wheelers and dirt bikes under the deck. 2 in the house 2 out at the barn and at least 1 in the mechanical room. Water cannot put out propane fire or electric fire. Like y’all said y’all were lucky that y’all were there as the mechanic didn’t NOT have a fire extinguisher in his truck. Ounce of prevention is worth in y’all’s case not loosing what the two have WORKED so hard for… Blessing everyone is safe!!! 👏👍

That steam coming out the exhaust says it all. Cracked

[@mikesib3482]

I agree completely as soon as josh said there was gas in the oil.

[@dave1135]

White smoke can be gas also,most likely the car flooded and filled the crankcase with gas, and intake was probably full of fuel and it backfired, igniting the gas and throwing it back to the air filter, setting it on fire. 7:28 josh talks about the gas tank going from 1/4 tank to empty, the needle and seat in the carb was leaking and pouring fuel into the cylinders, and with the plugs out it ran down the engine. Mr mechanic most likely didn't disable the ignition system and left the plug wires laying on the block, the mechanic cranked it over, causing a spark and igniting the fumes.

[@davidsuperdavelarson6174]

@@dave1135 Your probably close to right. I saw when he tried to start it that was raw fuel coming out and if it had been a hot exhaust system if would have caught fire them. Once I saw that I would have shut it all down and had it pulled away from the house till fixed. This was a very amature mistake by all parties there. Stupidity has burn more many a home down. Plus when you live that far out you don't store gas filled anything under your home or deck areas. That's what they made barns and sheds for.

Kim, he was a repair guy, a mechanic. They know there’s always a chance of a fire with engines and should have their own fire extinguishers ready to go. He could’ve ran to look around for the water hose or an extinguisher or even a heavy duty tarp to throw on it to limit the fires oxygen. He reacted horribly, just stood by and did nothing.

I was Ellie's age when we had our house fire, the electrical to the clothes dryer caught on fire in the wall. Will never forget that smell every summer when our attic got warm the charred wood let off scent that's unforgettable. My parents rebuilt that portion of the house but since the attic only housed a linen cupboard on the slant roof walls they didn't bother going to the expense of ripping that portion off. We lived in a village with volunteer firefighters we thank God every day that our neighbours were firemen. One ran up the two houses and he and dad were trying to get somewhere with the garden hose while the other neighbour ran up the other street to the fire house to bring the tanker. All while my mom, and myself, our dog and our parakeet sat in our car out on the other side of the street watching them do their thing! Of course my brothers who were older were standing outside watching! That house had been in our family long before my mom was born and thank goodness we still had our home afterwards! Glad you were all safe! Please put a second tap on that side of the house with a hose! I think it's a fantastic idea to mount a cold weather rated extinguisher under the deck, for those just in case moments!
