Holy C Chip, I didn't realize this was your families property. Very sorry to hear and glad that some critical stuff suffered very little.

Sorry to see this.

Fires generally don't hurt cast iron blocks and heads. Cranks I don't know. Could be ok if you have someone look at them.

Damn Chip sorry to hear about that and what was lost.

That is one of my worst nightmare - a garage fire.

Glad your Dad/family are OK man.

Thanks yall. No one was home at the time. Dad was at a doctors appointment and I was at work...my house is on the other side of the property.
Investigators came out yesterday and concluded the fire started in the gameroom...likely from the battery tender that was on the lawnmower parked under the lean-to.

So if any of you use a battery tender on anything, keep an eye on them. scope

Sorry to hear about the damage but I guess it was just limited to the shop which is good. We had a house burned to the ground a number of years ago. Lost everything we owned. We were young and wife was in college at the time. I even got fired from my job for leaving work during my shift when my father in law called and told me the house was ablaze. Glad your damage was somewhat limited.

Battery chargers and tenders scare me. Glad your loss was limited, that is scary stuff.

Really sorry about the pool table!

Unbelievable. First Rhinodart loses his garage to a cordless drill battery and now you lose yours due to a battery tender. I'm seriously considering putting all of my cordless tool batteries in a fireproof paint locker when I'm not at the shop. Battery tender....don't know yet.

I hate to see that.
A few stories of building fires in the last year. Now I am going to buy a bigger fire extinguisher for my garage/shop.

There may not be a way to know, but I doubt the battery tender alone caused the fire. Perhaps the wind or an animal knocked the clips off and gasoline fumes caught fire, then oil, etc.

Sorry Jim but a battery tender is known to cause fires. Had a friend's dad loose some cool old ford's to a garage fire caused by a tender. I'll never use one in my shop. I put a race car power switch on my junk and the battery never goes down
