Its official ..... Its total'd
Yesterday my wife went to pick up some rodents, when she stopped at a rest area she came out to find our van was completely engulfed in flames, it is officially a total loss for us, not to mention somewhere in the neihborhood of 2000 live rats and mice that were in the van.
The good news is that my wife and daughter got out of the van just in time and nobody was injured.
A bad situation all the way around, but could have been much worse.

It took 9 minutes for the fire to spread from the engine compartment to the reaer of the van. It burned so hot that it actually melted the asphault beneath it.

Wow Chuck, I have heard of this earlier from Tim and couldn't believe what I was hearing, you guys were in that van all weekend in Columbia, your wife and your daughter were driving it the day of the incident, just thank God no one was in the van when it engulfed in flames!! I wish there were someway I could help you on the rat loss, hopefully insurance will cover the van minus all the modifications you put into it making it the rat hauling machine it was. Just wanted your family to know Jamie, Caitlin and I will be praying for you guys and hopefully things get back to normal soon. We'll be down at Tims in three weeks, try to stop by and hang out for awhile! Take care buddy, we're praying for you.

Thanks for the kind words we appreciate it. Right now it looks like Insurance will only cover the van and a few hunderd dollars for the contents.... I am not done with them on this yet though.
Re: Its official ..... Its total'd
I am VERY sorry to hear this happened to you :( But I am VERY glad nobody got hurt!!! Sorry again and good luck with the insurance company!!
Re: Its official ..... Its total'd
Its great that no one got hurt but thats really a loss :( but on the other hand yall are all talking about the Columbia shot, NO I REALLY REGRET NOT GOING :(
Re: Its official ..... Its total'd
Wow that sucks :O.Glad the wife and your daughter were not in it when it started.
Re: Its official ..... Its total'd
Big Gunns has got to be honest. He feels sorry for the rats and mice. They may have soon gonna be snake food, but this kind of death is worse in BG's opinion.(BG's a softy, but keep that quiet)
Glad the family is OK though.:gj:
