Insured? they should pay for storage if you are, if not get on the phone to everyone you know with a garage and get you motors in there for a while to give you time to think.
I was so curse word off when my 24 Cortina caught fire i let the insurance company take it away and took the cash, I'm STILL gutted about it now.
don't make any rash decisions.

Apparently some pallets outside 'caught fire' due to a wiring fault.
Lucky that the fire service were prompt and the wind was blowing the other way, otherwise my motors and 15 20K caravans would be gone like that. =/

Gutting and the cruelest irony as well  poor green goddess, hope not too much of your stuff got damaged. Someone set something outside on fire and it spread to both buildings I'm guessing |

Spoken to one of the other guys, pretty obvious that someone with a grudge against the landlords came down and torched the lot, in broad daylight =/ I'm glad they did because if it was started after everyone went home, I'd have nothing left at all. Now in search of new place to rent.

Spoken to one of the other guys, pretty obvious that someone with a grudge against the landlords came down and torched the lot landlord will have insurance claim off him... look in ya contract about rent,rates,electric etc etc see if it says you are responsible for your own insurance......inside the building!!!!!!!! he got to have the building insured and well looks like the fire was started on the outside of his building and damaged your stuff |

Please don't 'flame' me (sorry) but I would love to have seen the fire-fighters faces after extinguishing the blaze only to find a fire tender already inside the building  Hopefully it works out ok with insurance or new premises  |

I had heard it was just an accident,
someone flicked a cigarette in a bin thinking it was out and set a load of cardboard in the bin alight.

Heard that too, heard it's a wiring fault too... no idea honestly. Apparently we're getting a new wall next week so I can't grumble. |
