My opinion... whenever an airshow has parking on grass fields they
become completely liable for any fires caused by catalytic converters. It's no secret that all modern vehicles have catalytic converters and it's no secret that hot catalytic converters WILL cause dry grass to catch on fire. IMHO, SNF is completely responsible for any and all damages incurred because of the fires. They should have cut the grass earlier and much shorter so it wouldn't have caught on fire, causing the damage to the cars... We have the same problem here at the Arlington Airfair... I drive a full size truck so I'm not likely to cause a fire but any normal sedan, being much lower, is quite likely to be able to catch the grass on fire. I figure we've been lucky so far but can't count on that to last forever... John Capt.Doug wrote: "Jase Vanover" wrote in message Not the first time it's happened... probably not the last. Most of S-n-F's automotive parking is on grass. Central Florida has water restrictions in place quite early this year. The temp/dew point spread was 30/-1 a few days ago- something I have never seen before in the peninsula. I wonder if the car owners' insurance will subrogate S-n-F for the claims? D. |
