I remember seeing a post a year or so ago about a members conversion that had caught fire and burned to the ground.

Must have been a very costly accident.

Does anyone do anything special to prevent such an accident from occurring, like disconnecting the power system when leaving the rig or turning gas valves off...???

Do any on you have multiple large sized fire extinguishers located all over the rig so you might have a chance of stopping a fire before it gets out of control...?

Anyone remember where the post was and the pictures of the burned rig?
