One GMC fire is too many. They are no more prone to burn than any other
brand, but, they are 40 years old, and shake, rattle, and roll down the
road. They were intended to be maintained constantly, not ignored.
Gasoline, transmission fluid, propane, batteries? What could possibly go
wrong? Hot exhaust systems, mice and squirrel nests, the list goes on.
Simple tests with electrical testers, soap bubbles, your nose, go a very
long way towards heading off disaster. Fire prevention is one part of the
cure. Fyr-Fyter type of on board foam or chemical extinguisher systems is
another. Both east and west Jims have excellent products that are very
effective.
