O/T Added flames to my Jeep

[Doe Master]

I know it ain`t hunting related but I did have my hunting gear in the back .
I had a small mishap on Monday night driving home . I started to smell burning plastic so I pulled over , turned the truck off . In the dark I could see flames dancing behind the dash so because I was literally just seconds from work I raced to my work . By the time I got in the side door and grabbed the extinguisher the flames were up to the headliner .
I put out the flames but the truck is done .
On a positive note I was able to save all my hunting gear .

Windshield defroster is slightly melted.

Oh my gosh!! Not what I expected. Glad you're ok.

Sorry to hear that, at least you saved the hunting equipment!

[Doe Master]

I`m not going to get all sappy and religious but if I had been another 200 yards down the road . It would have turned out alot worse .
Thank you

[TPM]

You're not going to use this as an excuse at 3D are you?
Glad you were able to save the contents. May the ol' Jeep rest in peace...

[Doe Master]

Yes Tim it transported many a deer back home . May she rest in piece

[TPM]

Has the "coroner" been by yet?

[frisky]

Sorry to hear about the truck. Happy to hear you saved the hunting gear. Could have been worst, could have been opening morning of the deer hunt!

[Doe Master]

Has the "coroner" been by yet?

Yes he pronounced her DEAD .
Now I have to wait for the life insurance payment .

Thats what you get for playing a burnt cd.
Has you adjuster been out to let you know what happened? Im glad your ok and the gear made it out.

[wheelie]

No smoking in the truck!!! Them seeds POP and burn things!!!! LOL J/K

Just be thankful you made it out OK, and got your hunting gear out, too!
I had a hot time last week. Was working under a mobile home with a small catalytic heater near a frozen water line and the insulation (full of dirt & spider webs) ignited. It was like nothing I ever experienced before - WHOOSH - the whole underneath was burning! I got out with only a couple minor burns on my hands, and the occupant got out safely, but the trailer was a total loss. Thank goodness I have good insurance!

Glad you, your hunting gear and your ski stuff were spared! Now you'll have a chance to pursue your dream of a larger vehicle with a bigger payload so you can haul even more stuff, I mean, even bigger deer!

HOLY DOODLE!!!
Glad all went well. Saved the most important stuff.
I'm glad to hear your ok. May the Jeep R.I.P.

Glad you got out safely.

You'll do fine in the end. You may even rejoice, if you've retained a good company.

My wife is a Farm Bureau insurance agent.

I once narrowly escaped when a 1970 Ford LTD caught on fire while I was driving. I got out and ran just in time to look back and see fire roll into the whole occupant area and totally engulf everything.

A close one!
