I am very glad no humans were hurt. Good luck with the Insurance (they are infamous for trying to be cheap!)

Sorry that happened to you Chuck! Did they say what caused it?

I can't imagine what was going through your wife's mind at that time. Sorry for your loss all the way around. If your auto insurance doesn't cover the rodent loss, submit a claim through your homeowner's insurance policy. They should cover the loss.

But if not, at least the family is safe.

Good Luck!

No idea on what started it yet, the insurance company is investigating it today.

Thanks for the idea of homeowners insurance I will look into that.

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.

You're right on there, that is a horrible way to die for any animal. They ALL deserve to be treated with care, concern and respect even if they are snake food.

No worries I wont tell anyone your little secret............

Oh my goodness....thankfully they stopped and got out for a break and were not in there when that happened. I am so sorry that happened to you. Keep bartering with the insurance company.....I had a car totalled about 3 years ago and I worked with them allot and they kept uping the money. So it does work....just keep working on them. Let us know what they find out....was the van on? Do they think someone else started this?

Again...sorry that this happened to you.

The van was on fire when they stopped, my wife just didnt realize it at the time, it was turned off and parked away from all the other vehicles in the parking lot. I dont belive someone else started this, it happened way too fast from smoke in the engine compartment to completely gone in less than 30 minutes and she was about 150 miles from home.

My wife was a complete and total nervous wreck - this was one of those stops were you dont bring anything in with because its a quick stop so she lost her purse and everything in it ............

I couldnt have driven any faster to get to them and it still took me a little over 2 hours. The people there were great and helped her out alot while I was traveling there, they got them food and drinks, let her use there cell phones, even offered to drive them all the way home.

In the face of true tragedy the human heart can be unbelievable

Wow man, unbelievable.

Glad everyone is ok!

Scary stuff.

Glad the family is fine, and good luck with the insurance.

I saw a car on fire once, not a pretty sight. The hood was all blackened and smoke was starting to pour out the cracks, no owner was around. By the time the fire dept got there, it was unbelievable.. Something so relatively small in size seems as unstoppable a force as a hurricane.
