Popular Post 1958 F.W.D. Posted October 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) I don't know if Kenny Boughter (Manheim, Pa.) is on here, but for those of you who know him, he suffered a terrible fire at his place this evening. His 6-bay garage and his Mack firetrucks are a complete and total loss, including the R-Model/4-Guys 3500gallon tanker that he had at Lititz. I think he lost at least one, if not two CF Engines and possible a Century Series American Lafrance as well. His father also lost several Mustangs and some vintage snowmobiles. His father's home was not harmed and no one was injured thank god. Keep Kenny in your thoughts, he is a good guy.

However, in a arson investigation course I took the instructor said always look into prior events of those involved. Does make you wonder. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54669-horrible-fire/#findComment-408657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck P Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I remember seeing the R tanker and talking with the owner of that fine piece of equipment. I believe he had other trucks there as well (yellow C-model?) Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

1958 F.W.D. Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 I know Kenny personally and this was brought up recently elsewhere. I offer the following: -It was 2011 -Kenny deeply regrets what happened back then -He has paid his dues, both monetarily and criminally -He has grown up, has a job, a steady girlfriend and is also now a father. -Would you set a fire that killed three of your animals -Would you set a fire that could potentially burn down your parent's home (the siding melted) -Would you set a fire destroying all of your father's memorabilia, two mustangs and several irreplaceable antique snowmobiles -The ashes aren't even cold and people feel the need to kick him in the balls before they learn the specifics of how the fire started? Doesn't sound very mature or Christian-Like to me. Do what you will with this information, but I for one am granting him the benefit of the doubt. And those of you who know me personally will tell you that my trust has to be earned. 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54669-horrible-fire/#findComment-408709 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant by it was whenever I do something "not right" including a repair it always comes back to bite me in the ass later down the road. I try to teach the kids to work for what you have and don't try to take things the "easy" way. It will come back to haunt you. I wouldn't wish a fire on an enemy, You loose so much more then people ever realize. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54669-horrible-fire/#findComment-408719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
