On the way to mine they noticed smoke coming through the heater vents and on closer inspection it seemed there was a fire
Called the fire brigade but by the time they got there Shane had put it out with a rag and got blisters on his hands



What can we do? Suggestions !!

id get it to someone who knows what there doing , rewiring it maybe ok but you need to investigate what caused the fire in the first place?
