You'll need to be logged in to earlyS to see the pics above but if you are it doesn't make for nice viewing. Such a shame but sounds as though nobody was hurt which you can be thankful for at least.
I hope you wont think me callous when I say it would have been better if some people were a little hurt rather than the damage done here. And remember the chassis numbers as they will reappear when our memories fade.

A few singed eyebrows or burnt clothes trying to save the cars. And speaking from personal experience years ago when the engine blew up in my race 911 and the car went on fire I stopped at the first marshalls post where they failed to put out the blaze, I drove on to the next post where they put it out. I'm implying the modern H&S advice of get out fast from the burning building is perhaps not always the best solution. Push a car or two out along the way.

Quite possible in other situations, but this happened at 4.15am and started in the shared tyre shop so not possible to simply push 'a car or two out of the way.......'
That is a sad thing to see. 4am fire at a workshop is a bummer in anyone's perspective.
It seems as though the cars had the roof fall on them and serious fire damaged metal will never be alright as all the impurities are in the metal and it being tempered by the fire department will just add to the problems.
The only positive thing would be to align yourself with a Stanceworks/ratrod crowd and roll it as is.

Having a fire in a carand driving with it? Doesn't that add more oxygen and make the fire bigger and hotter?
