No, it was not a show business musical, it was a house fire. [emoticon]

Occasionally, a black tank malfunction might be a musical, this was not. [emoticon]

Well, a LOT of us have Jeeps as toads, so I for one, am interested in the outcome!

Does your area allow water heaters and other auto-start loads in the same room vehicle is stored?


Yes - it's pretty common in FL to have the water heater, possibly the furnace; and even a gas clothes dryer located in the garage.

I once had an older Mercedes C-class that leaked gas fumes and it sounded like it was a common problem that MB chose to ignore. Since it was our FL grocery-getter, it was relegated to the outdoors, due to being a bad idea of it sharing the garage with the water heater and gas dryer :-(

Last year an auto manufacturer/s was advising drivers to park their cars outside of garages on the street or far back on the drive way due to sudden car fires. Jeep was not the brand and I believe one was an EV but cannot remember the brand/s. Recall did not affect my Ram truck so do not remember.

Millions of older home garages have gas water heaters, furnaces, etc in their garages. Watch o.

Glad our apartment condos do not have underneath or attached garages. All parking is in the open with metal port covers and away from living quarters.

Tell GD dog eater that I have seen many jeeps used as toads and tow vehicles of small TT. Cheer to the brave.

I’m not aware of any state, maybe MO based on scoobys post, that doesn’t allow appliances in the garage like furnace and water heater.

A couple of hours ago I pulled out of my driveway and down the street to the stop sign. In the middle of the intersection was a Jeep on fire. I think it was a Liberty. Looked like the flames were coming from around the battery. One guy emptied an extinguisher but couldn’t stop it.

A mistake many make with an engine comparment fire is to open the hood.. Using an extinguisher shoot UP from below but DO NOT open the hood and let it "Draft".. I've seen fires self extinguish if you do not open the hood (Twice) I've also seen them not self extinguish (Also twice) but if you open the hood. NO CHANCE.
