Yes Briteskys I know they wear turnout gear. I have several friends that are fire chiefs, investigators, etc.

I was poking fun at the people who thought it was absurd to determine the fridge was the source of the fire.

I can say this with certainty though. If it wasn't the fridge that started the fire it was something that was touching the fridge.

It certainly wasn't careless smoking by the driver, or the brakes or tranny for that matter.

A "metal" car has a whole lot of plastic in it, and rubber. Ever throw stuff made of that on the camp fire?

That's not good for the environment. Shame on you, mister! Wood only the campfires please.

Tread lightly! Hug a tree.

Let's not get a "Naderized" refrigerator. Who wants a fridge with safety lock doors that you can't get open, and after it opens there is no room left for food, and what food you put in there spoils because the temperature of the fridge has been raised to avoid accidental frostbite............

( OK you can start chuckling now. )
