Uas Almost Burnt Down!

[OZ GTR35]

Last night the Hobbies in the Hills, hobby shop above UAS was completly destroyed by fire. The fire did not get down stairs so except for being very wet, UAS survived. My car was getting its clutch replaced and I was lucky enough along with all the cars to get out without a problem. I dont think it is known if UAS will be ok but John has a lot of cleaning up to do!

I saw this on the news but I didn't know it was the one above UAS

Glad the cars got out okay.

[evil_weevil]

hopefully every thing is all good with their workshop and cars

[OZ GTR35]

All cars got out with no probs, but the whole place was still dripping wet at 7am this morning.

f**k.

that is shithouse. praise the son of rajab the place wasn't burned down.

[Duncan]

damn.

hope all their bits are oK

Theis stock should be Ok but stuff like computers, phones and paper work will be gone.

The bigger issue will be the chance they will have to re-locate because of the dammage to the upper floors might make the building a write off!

Thats a really shitty situation - glad nobody was hurt all the the cars were safe.

Im watching the footage of the fire on TV right now Thats one serious blaze

[Beer Baron]

actually apparently one of the fire fighters was injured

you would have to expect a hobby shop would go off like an H bomb. all that flamable glue, pressurised spray paint, model rocket engines, heaps of RC car fuel = KABANG with a side dose of KABOOM!

Does anyone know how the blaze started? I really feel for John as he is going to get reamed through no fault of his own.

According to the reports on Sky news, the cause is yet to be determined, but rest assured, that building is completely forked and will no doubt need to be demolished.
