I'm extremely upset over what happened to Fred, and Diane. As with any car, trunk, or motorhome. For the most part. Fires comes down to electrical, gas, diesel, or propane fuels. We had a fire in our GMC. Aug 28, 1015. ( Not accident related. ) The Nebraska state fire marshal listed the cause as arson. And that I started the fire. The day after the fire. What I was looking at. And where the fire marshal said that I started the fire. Simply didn't match in my view. That's when I got interested in fire investigation methods. Fires start. Then travel up, and out from the source point. In our case. I examined the melted aluminum. Looking at clues as to temps reached, and length of time those temps lasted at those points. I marked each of those points. All point info showed that the fire started at the base of the frig. Then went looking for frig fire recalls. And found the one on our 1 year old frig.
I bring this up now. Because there just be something here. That just might save another one's life.
Their main fire damage is at the very front. Then up and to the rear. I dough that there was fire, floor penetration soon after hitting the house. That would have taken some time. Unless there was floor damage at impact. So what at the front fueled the fire. Are there things on our GMC's that we should be mindful of. Could there have been a gas line that got broken going into the house. Or was there a fuel tank at the front for the EFI fuel pumps? I think that I've heard that those tanks up front hold about a gal. The EFI systems stop gas flow if the engine stops. But did the rear low pressure pumps keep running. We can only speculate. Maybe a discussion just could save another life. Or give us some piece of mined. That we've tried our best to make our GMC's as safe as we can. Bob Dunahugh
