Gary, that's too bad. It's a darn big loss for anyone, even if it was insured. There was a stroy on the news here last night about a barn fire something very similar on Sunday. Guy lost 40 years worth of stuff and some stock, tractors etc. They're estimating the loss at close to a million to replace it all, and he had minimal insurance.
Poverty keeps my junk outside.... but I think it would stay there anyway.
The worst part of those fires is that once they get rolling, there's no realistic way to put them out. A big barn with a hay fire would require probably 3000+ GPM with foam just to try and hold it, never mind put it out. We lost a 80x96 hay barn and cattle shed on the ninth of Febuary, 95... one of the coldest nights of the winter that year. Only for a favorable wind we would have lost 3 more, but the wind was coming over them pushing the fire away. We simply don't have the equipment in 2 counties to move that kind of water for a fire like that. Every bale was handled in that mess, shook out and extinguished the next day. Big big mess.

Hope your brother lands on his feet....
