Burnt Cabin

Here are photos that Tom took this weekend helping my father clean up the debris after the fire at the cabin.  Compare these photos to those of the previous slideshow to see what it looked like before the fire came through.  The first photo is the start of the fire at the bottom of the mountain on the way up to the cabin.

The only things that survived at the cabin were the swing and the small windmill.

This is a photo of the foundation of the cabin.  It is weakened by the heat and not usable again.

Here is the remains of a small shed near the storage containers.

This is the inside of one of the containers.  This is where my father kept his motorcycles, quads and snowmobiles.

This is the molten aluminum coming out of the container.

Here is a view of the remains of the quads, motorcycles and snowmobiles pulled up to where the cabin was to get ready for disposal.

    To see how the fire incinerated what was in the storage units is jaw-dropping. I don’t know how the firemen do what they do….
