I passed through Longford yesterday, and from the road all i saw was what look like burnt out Fiat vans... Coming home today i said i'd stop for a look and was shocked at what i saw. I'll show ye this one but leave ye in suspense as the rest upload lol:D

Noticed a lot more warehouse fires in recent months. Is that what is called a fire sale?

Yup. Im thinking Insurance as well. Nobody was going to buy that stock anyway. Fiats, I mean come on.

Sorry Myob but its true.

Happened a few weeks ago, word around the town is that its an insurance job. One of the lads that works for the fire brigade said that they didn't try to even put it out because everything was catching so quickly they wouldn't have been able to put it out.

In the past couple of months there has been an abnormally large amount of fires in businesses which seem to be suffering from the recession, alot more than say last year when things were rosey. I suppose it could be pot luck.

Afaik this firm were doing mainly camper vans, so (were) more desirable than your average Fiat. They had some ex UK cars as well, hence the convertible pics. Working out of an almost new warehouse.

I would imagine that the market for camper vans is nothing like as good as it was ? Campers are very much a luxury purchase ... not like a car that you need to get you to work.

I thought as much that they were campers, with the windows on them. I wish i'd went in behind the fence and got a few more snaps. Ah sure

There's a lot of speculation here, folks. Let's leave it to the Gardai to investigate if they decide to do so...
