Gary, that's too bad. It's a darn big loss for anyone, even if it was insured. There was a stroy on the news here last night about a barn fire something very similar on Sunday. Guy lost 40 years worth of stuff and some stock, tractors etc. They're estimating the loss at close to a million to replace it all, and he had minimal insurance. Poverty keeps my junk outside.... but I think it would stay there anyway. The worst part of those fires is that once they get rolling, there's no realistic way to put them out. A big barn with a hay fire would require probably 3000+ GPM with foam just to try and hold it, never mind put it out. We lost a 80x96 hay barn and cattle shed on the ninth of Febuary, 95... one of the coldest nights of the winter that year. Only for a favorable wind we would have lost 3 more, but the wind was coming over them pushing the fire away. We simply don't have the equipment in 2 counties to move that kind of water for a fire like that. Every bale was handled in that mess, shook out and extinguished the next day. Big big mess. Hope your brother lands on his feet.... Rod

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
