HWHII Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I had a small fire in the shop today. A clean cotton rag had at sometime fallen off a table and landed under a computer cabinet. Some sparks got to it and the next think I new the plastic cabinet was on fire. Watch those rags. I was lucky no real damage this time. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainely,Bob Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 If my son set his pants on fire he`d burn up his computer too. Well,his phone really,but it may as well be a computer. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with that Bob, Many years ago as an apprentice, I was innocently standing on a 5 inch pipe about 25 ft up on a wall working when the dark smoke cloud surrounded me. A welder on the ground behind me lights up an oily trash can and didn't notice. I sure did and I could not easily get down because by that time I could not see the pipe I was standing on to get to the scaffolding. Only option at that point was to bust a window and stick my head out to breath until it was put out and the air cleared. Scariest apprenticeship moment.

Swamptroll Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 cotton flannel is great for starting fires. I have seen several doing torch work have sparks set themselves on fire and the blue flames are hard to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
