The Dig

Yesterday 5 fire investigators dug out the trash in our garage to try to find the cause and origin of the fire. They started at 9:30 and left about 3:00. Right in the morning they showed a picture that the fire department took when they arrived and I want to get a copy of that. I am glad that I didn't have to do their work on such a hot day! This is what I think they found based on what I overheard. The fire started in the front half of the garage (nearest the garage door). Therefore it probably wasn't caused by an electrical problem or by the Volvo. The two suspects that they had were the Mercedes (which was parked outside right next to the door) and a car jump starter powered by a battery pack. They took the jump starter, an electrical outlet, the garage door opener and the shop lights for further study. They will be taking the Mercedes also for study.
