terrible story that some of the comments left on newspaper site by troll types will really help that poor couple. Fire brigade could probably do very little if acetylene cylinder was in garage,very very sad. I was glad there was a bucket of water close to hand when the oil pipe on my rs split when running in camshaft and oil lit on manifold. Engine out again repaint and replace various cables but car and garage saved. Stay safe when doing any hot work grinding or welding and have extiguisher ready

Not nice to see, in my garage and kitchen I have extinguishers/fire blankets (sometimes I still have to remind the wife not to move the extinguisher in the kitchen to a silly spot where its hard to reach) and insurance on the house and cars NEVER EVER slips.

its always easy to be wise after the event but having no insurance is just plain daft, a hard lesson learnt
