3:19 this AM a fellow fireman decided to push snow with his IH 460 gas. It was being stored in local gas station in the car wash bay overnight where it is warm.

On a related note when building your sheds remember to use a fire wall in the attic. And unless you have nothing but skinny men on your fire department, perhaps a acess hole bigger than 2 ft x 2 ft.
