Worst Photo 2011 in Pressure Washing. Stay away from gas cans, get a fuel cell for all the equipment. Closed or open the fire can happen.

Ya, that's a bad one...

That pic just gives me an incredible sinking feeling.

Main Street at the intersection of Water Street, my shop is about 3 miles down the road from there. Never saw the picture before, I think it was bad wiring.

Jim chime in, tell them about the bill you got for hazardous waste clean up.
 
Never really found out what caused the fire. Could have been a combination of alot of things in that trailer. I was away on vacation when this picture came across my cell phone saying one of your trailers is on fire. All I could think of was please, please dont let anyone get hurt. They shut down the town main street most of the day when they found out we had Chlorine and acids on board. Lucky my forman opened up the rear door (to get the gas cans out) or that could have been worse. Fire company called in the DEP to do a hazardous waste cleanup at a cost of just under $40k. The fire company charged us for their materials ($1800) The police charged us for 12 officers for 8 hrs $(9408) to close the streets and keep people safe. This is why you guys should carry enough insurance just incase this happens.
My company was insured for everything! The only equipment they would not pay for was the trailer. It was not pulled by a company vehicle. One of our trucks was in the shop and my forman offered to use his truck that day. Water under the bridge. I thank God that no one got hurt. All else can be replaced and was within 2 weeks.
Tom Vogel from ACR products helped us out finding exactly what we needed fast! Love that guy!! From that day on we have been building open trailers. We are actually building another rig as we speak. I will try to post more pictures when I get back in my office.
