Garage fire 2nd April 2016

I'll start with the photos of during.  I felt very wrong taking pictures so I didn't, other than these three.  Fire started about 6.30pm Saturday night.  Mark and Jamie tried to put it out, but it was too intense. I called the fire brigade (as did many others I would imagine) in total there were 5 appliances and 2 ambulances - they checked Jamie and Mark out for signs of smoke inhalation - both of their faces were black.... neither allowed a photo.

About 45 mins after the fire started.  Still a lot of smoke.

This is where it touched the house itself.  Eaves gone and red bricks are now black

Aluminium melts at 660 degrees Celsius.  WTF!!!  Aluminium window frames and bowed tiles

Kiddy Hawk Challenge 6th March 2016

Before the race.  Nice clean boys.


Commando crawling under barbed wire - yes real barbed wire.

End of the race, are you really that muddy?


Ben going through the first of the muddy trenches.
Ryan... do I really want to go in there?

Head to toe - mud
Even worse!
