Zen83237 coughed up some electrons that declared:

I have been looking at a suspicious fire in a timber constructed building (not in this country) where concrete footings up to approx 1 cubic yard have been uprooted out of the ground with burn marks on the concrete. ie the flanks that should have been underground. Is a JCB man enough for doing that. |
