It's been a bad week for workshops around here... lost one to fire Saturday
that was caused by the owner stripping paint with a torch/heat gun. Monday
another shop was lost to fire started by a lightening strike.

Excerpt from article

In West Hurley, the garage that caught fire after a lightning strike was
over 150 feet away from the residence, according to Fisher. He said there
were no cars damaged in the blaze but some machinery and file cabinets were
lost. The homeowner bulldozed the garage before the night was out, Fisher
said.


One of the guys in my woodworking club said the machinery was all
woodworking equipment...
